IT’S A GIRL! AND A GIRL! AND A BOY! AND A BOY (+2!)

Our beautiful fairy-tale geese have arrived!! Wanna see?? Do ya? Do ya???

Our box from Holderread Waterfowl Farm is here!! See how eager they are to meet us? (in case you did not notice my name-dropping-allow me to elucidate for you! The Holderreads are THE name in quality waterfowl world-wide-just being able to say you have Holderread birds is a huge brag-factor because of their standards of quality and commitment to great genetics) Now to open the box!

Here they are with Lucky Linder AKA Mother Goose! He is our new mommy which makes me Gramma Goose!

The 2 bright yellow ones are males, the 2 darkest grey headed ones are females and the other 2 were not sexed so we will see! One more because it is soooo cute!

We got “the call” from the post office at 5:30 AM and I drove the expectant mommy to pick up the babies–so much excitement! We also had to get some greens to sprinkle on the food and water to encourage them to start chowing down! I will keep posting updates as their feathers come in and start curling (and as I play with the camera and get pretty shots of our curly-haired fairy-tale HOLDERREAD geese!)

I hate to mention that we are thinking of names -the last time I did this I found that some of my top choices for our cow were already in use by 1 family for 3 of their beautiful doe-eyed daughters! (so sorry P. V. and E. !! )- I am hoping to go with prince/princess names maybe from fairy tales that have not been commercialized by Walt? That will be a hard task though so any and all help will be much appreciated-remember they will be snow white in color with long curly fluffy feathers! Got anything for me??
