My 2 female White Chinese goslings arrived today. Now I have 1 male and 4 female geese. These Chinese geese are suppose to be a little better egg layers than the Africans.
My new Goslings.

Awwww........I'm in love.
Of course, I love every single animal I see.
Watch geese are formidable. I've seen them in action. Yikes!

Congratulations!! They are cute when they're little!
All the ones I've had won't go near strangers, they run from them, but they do honk whenever something's around. Years ago I had a couple Canadian ganders and 1 would come running to me and follow me around whenever I quacked at it, I quacked because I had ducks longer than geese .
He actually protected the ducks from the other Canadian gander.

Our geese are not a problem....7 African and 1 Tolouse. They make alot of noise, but they're all good. I am getting hissed at, because two are sitting on eggs, but that's as far as they take it. Two of the Africans have bonded with little granddaughter, she sprays them with water, and they stretch out their wings, they let her hug on them.

They are cute. Will you give them names? I have an idea for at least one of them: Ryan, after the actor, Ryan Gosling.
No I won't name them, I use to but I always forget what they are later.
Aw that's cute, mine aren't quite that tame. I have had to put a couple down in the past for trying to kill drakes.
They will mow your lawn for you.

They'd eat your garden, too. But ours are in a very large run so they can't.
They don't do a very good job at itThey will mow your lawn for you.
We don't have a garden, too much work. If we decide to have a garden though we'll put it outside the fenced in area though. I put a chicken wire fence around a big area of our 3 acres to keep them off the road but they can still get to the pond.
