Waterfowl Pics and Chat!

Ours were OK. We were happy to celebrate Jesus birthday, but my heart wasn't all holly and jolly, but next years will be better. I missed Dad very much. I know this will get easier, but I have to agree with others, you don't get over it apparently. Just get used to it.

Baby continues to stand (and use her wings as supports). She and Lucky cuddle up at night in their stall in the barn. Its very sweet. I will try to get some pics today, its been awhile. Both have excellent appetites, so that really makes me feel better about them. They both get around in their own fashion, so once it warms up (in a month or two) I'll keep them togather in a pen until both are well and mobile (or not).
It does get easier Marty,it just takes time. They will always be missed that's for sure. Looking forward to seeing pics of the girls and happy to hear they are improving.
 
Thanks Miss Lydia

Random thought......... do all breeds have a better % of babies as they approach 3 years or just the larger ones?
 
Paula the Sebastopols hit the ground running so to speak the first spring after hatching. Eggs from young geese can be small, but they do get better later into the season. Second year eggs are larger than first. They have other fertility issues that need to be addressed by the owner/breeder, and also shouldnt be kept in quads. Pairs and trios only.

I have everything in pairs only this year. Thinking of possibly turning the Embdens into a trio as they approach 3 years Maybe

If they are all in twos, I suggest an ark.
