i love that story! raising those must have been great fun!

my DH thought our embden was a female just because it turned up on the nest in the middl eof the day, so he thought the goose was adding an egg. i explained that was DEFINITELY a male, and he was guarding them because of DH working so closely to the nest. i hope the eggs get adopted soon before we get that far on the fence this week. today is my friends birthday, i was hoping she would come for a visit and get the eggs...

either Popeye is protecting her from the kids [they have decided to "check on " the goose daily, or he sees those babies as a threat to his babies. nobody is guarding Olive on her duck eggs + 1 chicken egg...
