WILLOW'S FLOCK

The Legend of Willow's Flock: Redbud's Test

First I shall tell a tale of the gander who is considered to be second most in favor to my beloved. 

His knob does not protrude in the same way as it does on a Classic Chinese gander's head. For it is what I call big but simple.

This gander wooed three ladies to be his own. They loved him each as much

I, Weeping Willow, know many a story of my flock. My beloved acquired thirteen geese. Two of these were most unfortunately lost before names were given or pictures taken. 

Of the ganders and the geese who were named and well known there was Eastern Redbud, Baldcypress the Big and Cowardly, Poison Sumac the Small, Black Oak the Loud, Pecan of the Black Eyes, Mimosa who was a skilled fighter, White Ash the Sweetest of Them All, American Elm who was known for her beauty, Paper Mulberry the Wise and Brave, Sassafras of the Dark Head, and Mockernut Hickory of the White Band.

Mary Beth (left) and Elizabeth (right)
Elizabeth, #99, Batch #015. Hatched June 24, 2020.
Darker markings compared to Mary Beth.
Mother is Siberian Elm and father is therefore likely to be Black Cherry.
Looks a lot like previous goslings who were her siblings. Hatched around 8:00 PM. 

Mary Beth, #100, Batch #015. Hatched June 24, 2020.
Lighter markings compared to Elizabeth.
Mother is Siberian Elm and father is therefore likely to be Black Cherry. 
The sweeter of the two and pretty unique face.
Uncertain of when she hatched but was probably during the night of June 24. 
Found hatched on June 25, 2020.

Goose Entries: Willow CrenShaw and Currant

Currant
Willow Crenshaw and Currant are from Batch #011. Willow Crenshaw hatched the night of April 27, 2020. I found her the morning of April 28. Later on that day Currant would hatch. There were two other goslings from this batch as well who were related to Currant. These two I did not keep. I did not intend to keep any geese from this batch but this was a problem batch. Willow was the second to hatch and she hatched with only one eye. Currant did not seem to be having any trouble ​

Broom the gosling
I plan to post an entry for each batch. Broom was the only one to hatch from six set eggs. She hatched on June 13, 2020. Her ID is #98. Her batch is #014.  I sexed this goose and know it is a female. Broom has an incomplete crescent under each eye. The picture does not show how it looks now. She is super sweet because of her being the only one to hatch. I spent plenty of time with her involving cuddles and pets. She is pecky kind of gosling which is

White Geese

I have been raising Gray African/Chinese geese for two years now and I have heard about the white geese. People often have them alongside a gray goose in pairs. I had been speculating on changing to Roman geese until I found out that they are very likely to have defects but white Chinese geese would make up for that. I believe they are supposed to have blue eyes like all the other white geese but I am not sure. White Chinese geese are supposed to have a colorless gene instead of a white gene. Making everything regarding breeding totally different.

    my name is Emily

    I have twenty-eight geese. I hatch a bunch of goslings because I want a lot of people to have geese. I do not see them everywhere but I want to! The goslings are the sweetest baby birds I know! The adult males are proud and can be cranky but have their sweet moments while the females are shy and sweet all at the same time.
