Couple of goosepimples - on the left is 1 day old and likes to sleep, on the right is 2 days old and likes to run and eat.  Quite staggering the difference in a day.  They're living in the kitchen at the moment and loving company

Awwww 

[bloomer]

kids love them...


is that all of them?

[goosepimple]

The other 2 in the incubator don't appear to be hatching.


I have a goose sitting but she's making a mess of it, and another one who must be sitting on a load of eggs because we couldn't get to them, she should be due if any in about a week or so.


I also have another 2 females who are still hanging out with the 2 boys but I'm not convinced they're laying or nesting. 


So potentially we could have loads of goosepimples, but maybe this is our lot.  Goose antics

They are gorgeous! We have six West of England in the incubator due out from Thursday. Your picture has made me all broody! Can't wait!

My one little gosling, out for a walk with his/her proud parents.



The other goose is sitting on 10 or so, so hopefully there'll be some more soon.

I want mine in the kitchen too

Yay! I've got one - he's (advantage of West of England - I know he his a he) fluffed up now but not running around yet and needed a lot of help. I think he's going to have to go in with ducklings for company. Another 10 fertile ones in incubator/under broody so hopefully he'll have goose friends eventually.

Thanks all, they're Steinbachers bloomer, same as Jaykays (distant relatives actually) 


No2 is still a bit weak and has a deformed toe I see, if it was out with parent geese it definitely wouldn't have made it, so    .  Think it may last a while but not sure it will make it. 


Had to throw our big goose off her nest, she started with about 6 eggs in there and ended up with one - I just picked it up when she came off and it's empty, so cleared her nest out.


We've still got one sitting though, if she's having any it should be in a week or so.
