so...5 weeks ago today I drove 1 hr each way to get myself 2 goose goslings. These are
Sebastopol goose goslings. I've drooled over them for over a year. Took me forever and a lot of googling to find someone within 100 kms that had them.
It has been so much fun watching them grow up. Boy, do they grow fast!!
When I brought them home, 1 week old. They lived in a box in the closet under a heat lamp.
Dearest Hubby built me a pen for them that can be moved around the yard.
Almost 4 weeks old and getting a hug from Dad.
5 weeks old, feathers starting to come in. That gangly, awkward, teenage stage. Their wings are too heavy and droop and they're forever having to hike them back up.
Mom, Mom, is there water in my nose!!
(Thanks Debbie, I about wet myself when you posted that caption!!)
They spend all day outside in their pen and come in the house at night. I had to buy a baby play pen for them and they can look over the sides if they stand on their tippy-toes. I love them dearly.
