I have 7 Peking ducks and 2 African Brown geese.
I love watching a flock of those fly over.Those are really nice. I don't have any but look for Canadian geese when they are flying.
Your babies are all grown up.
I am a mallard duck guy.
I want geese too.
But nothing til I move.
Nice looking ducks there,what breed are the darker ones??

I had 4 brown ones a couple years ago that my step-daughter got and she just put them right in the duck building so they never got real real tame. A coyote got 1 and somebody ran the other 3 over all at once,so this past spring I got these and they were all raised in the house until they were about to get there feathers,about 6-8 weeks old,so they're all pretty tame. There's 1 that'll even eat minnows out of my hand. When I bring them in in the evening they're only a couple feet in front of me and I reach down and touch there backs sometimes.They're of the world famous TSC heritage.
I asked AuntJoe and she has no idea. They were cute. She bought 4 last year at TSC. Had a hatching back in the spring adding 9 more. Lost a couple to the yote that wanders through now and then.
That small spot in the left hand corner with no ice is where the sump pump drains. Once the ground gets really frozen the pump won't be running the rest of the winter. But for now they all crowd into that little spot to splash around. As I walked toward the pond to take the pic, they got skittish and were scrambling to get out and hopped up onto the ice instead of just walking up the bank like they normally would.
They do that a lot,there's about always 1 of them being the look out.Did you notice the geese look like they're keeping watch on something in that second pic?
Saw this post and thought I'd post a picture of my unhappy geese.The pond is iced over and they are just besides themselves.They even played with a bale of hay for a couple of hours.
It's so cold and they're acting like it's bothering their feet.Can their feet get frostbite?
as long as they keep flying. Canada geese are tasty but some places have so many you can’t walk near a lake without walking through tons of slimy goose poop. It was so bad that my family took to calling the lake near our place “Goose Poop Slough”I love watching a flock of those fly over.
