how cool would that be!  One of our tup lambs is really tame and comes up to be scratched when his mum is having her tea.  One of the local schools is coming our for a visit to see the lambs and the chicklings (chicks and ducklings) this week so think they will love seeing eveything.

Well hopefully we will succeed. They have just been for their first swim and loved it.

They're VERY cute James, fingers crossed for getting them 'tame' - don't think I've met a nice goose yet  ;) ;D What breed are they ?

To be honest I don't know their breed, I rescued their parents a month or so ago and they didn't know either and I haven't "googled" to find out, but I will try later.

Sandy, they are not for the table, they will be pets like the other 3 geese I have.

James, they're lovely.  daft question, but what are goose eggs like?  colour I mean!
my husband asked me and I have to confess I had no idea (which he said was unusual!)

They are huge and white and quite heavy too.
