Remember back in June, these little fluff balls Harry, Larry and Mo, being brought up by Mum, Mother Goose the Hyline hen.
They grew up so fast.
Now they are goosey young ladies.
Full of character and brilliant guards for our flock of chickens. If anything comes close to the fence or flys overhead they honk out a warning to all their chickeny friends.
The only thing is now they are getting older they are feeling the need for a nice looking Goosey Gander, and they seem to be practising their flirty ways with me !!
Goosey necks wrapping themselves round my legs while I fill up the feeders, purring honks and flirty looks when I come round the corner and a little nibbling at my rear end when I am reaching in to clean out the henhouses and the Goose Hoose.
Oh well I guess it's better than being chased by angry geese all around Chicken World.

They're beautiful Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat about it, get a nice young male to stay over in the spring? (For the geese, not for you.) More little fluff balls?!
No, considering that we'll have a lot less land when we move and seeing the impact they have on it, we really can't have any more.
DeleteWe'll just enjoy their eggs for the egg laying period and I'll have to put up with being the object of their affection.... not such a bad thing.

Always enjoy hearing about your animals Sue! They have grown up fast and clearly love you dearly!

The have grown amazingly fast haven't they!
DeleteThey are absolutely beautiful, and because I don't fly they haven't realised that they can yet, although when they run to me at full speed with their wings flapping they definitely leave the ground in their excitment!!

Will you have one for Christmas lunch? I haven't had goose in years, they are so expensivexxx
ReplyDeleteAs a vegetarian I wouldn't dream of eating one of our family members for lunch!!
DeleteThey have wormed their way into Lovely Hubby's affections too so they are completely safe.
Sue xx
Oh, they are good looking girls aren't they?
ReplyDeleteJane x
They are completely beautiful and with their lovely knowing looks I think they realise this!
DeleteSue xx
they have certainly grown and I was wondering if one was for the pot also?
ReplyDeleteGill
Never. They are important family members and do a brilliant job of guarding the chickens from foxes, we have not had a single fox strike since the geese have been old enough to honk out a warning.
DeleteThey more than earn their supper, so they will never be ours.
Sue xx
OOh you can not put one of the beautiful goosey ladies in the pot!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha....never, never, never.
