Don't know what DH is going to name his pair of African Geese - I'm calling them "mean stupid geese"!

I had NO IDEA they would be so mean to the other birds - at ONE WEEK OLD!!!! They are in time out cause they pull the feathers of the other chicks.

ha ha. I thought I was the only one who put goslings in "time out" for the very same thing. Now that they are in a larger area during the day they not longer pick at each others feathers. It was getting way too cramped in the area I had them brooding in.

I've only got one goose, and his/her name is Snips!

Well they have names. Umm no laughing. One is tinkerbell and the other is Princess kitty. Our five year old was being so good before I could change the water she was and pulling grass into small pieces for treats (we explained that naturally they bite small pieces off and long pieces were bad for them) so we told her they were officially hers. So she named them.

I rescued a little Pomerainain gosling last week end and he is living with my four newly hatched Brown Chinas from Barney and Betty...so far they are being referred to as Barney's babes and Herb...Herb had all his baby fuzz pulled out of his neck so it was bald, his fuzz on his head was matted down with food and his nostrils were clogged up...basically he was a mess...he is about the same size as the new China babies so he must be just a few days old...I have hopes that Herb will eventually have some feathers on his neck...after we got the gunk out of his nose and throat he began to eat like a starved wolf...I think he has doubled in size in three days...I have to find names for the other four...I have two more adult fm Brown Chinas Uno and Dos, a pair of older Pomeranians, Pom Pom and Mrs. P, six teen age white Chinas I just call the Hoodlums, and four younger fm White Chinas who have yet to be named...

Herb is very special...I put him in a pen and he found the only hole he could possible squeeze through and chased me back to the house...I thought he was secure for a few moments while I rearranged a few things and made up the brooder as the other newly hatched goslings were ready to leave the 'bator and then I was going to put Herb in with them...I don't know how he did it...I was almost to the ramp on my deck and good 20 yds from the pen Herb was temporarily supposed to stay in...my dogs alerted and I turned around to see Herb running across the yard, through two fences and a gate...his little arms were stuck straight out and he was moving...after me...he wanted to be picked up and carried around...so I was doing my work with one hand and a very gabby Herb in my hand tucked under my chin...at present the five goslings are comfortable in the brooder together...they seem content and Herb seems happy to have company his size who are not eating his fuzz...

I have three white geese not sure what they are yet I think their emden's but they are huge so maybe white chinese. I call them geesies cause they know who I am when I call em that and they come a running . I didn't name them cause they were my first three and I had no idea whether or not I was gonna kill em or not ( I have bad luck with the things I want to keep) . But now they are 18 wks and STILL ALIVE SO FAR! So maybe I will name the next one's real names.

George and Lucy.

Except, George was a Lucy and Lucy was a George, so we had to change their names.

My 2 wk old Sebbie girls name is Matuse Da Gallose. And come to find out, Matuse is a designer wet suit company LOL Fits her perfectly. She loves to dive/swim under water in her kiddie pool

A splash Sebbie gander named Todd. 3 Geese named Carla, Sidney or CeeCee and Rebecca

Here is a picture of Matuse doing her daily dive. Look near 6:00 on the pool. You will see her under water and her duckling companion wondering what the heck she's doing. LOL

Our geese names are Luke and Laura (american buffs)
Korby and Hazzle (brown chinas)
Butch and Mary (white Sebs, they are named after the couple we got them from)
then the most original, Steven and Stevens girl friend (they are brown africans)
Our next pair of Sebs are going to be Barbie and Ken
