They're gorgeous and mum seems very protective.


What are you going to do with seven goslings?

Eat them  :-))) or sell them to anyone who would like them (to eat or as guard geese)  :thumbsup: . Dad is Embden and mum is EmbdenxToulouse.

They are gorgeous.  We keep thinking about geese but can't make our mind up.  I am liking the Toulouse so might have to look into those a bit more.
