Goslings on the Farm!

Ken came to the house with the suggestion I get the camera.  Ken has placed cut out barrels and other spaces for geese to lay eggs and hatch eggs.  But it was the goose under the chicken coop who had the first hatch.
 We like to see farm hatches.  The mom can protect and teach in a way we cannot.

One of the first things a mother goose teaches the hatchlings is how to drink.











When Ken saw babies, he got a couple really small low hubcaps so that the babies could reach into, get into, and get out of them.







Then this mom backed up and let them figure it out.

Now we provide what they need,  and hope they do well.
