      Thanks. They don’t bother to move when it’s cold and they’re all cozy tucked in.

    They’re beautiful. No matter how noisy and messy, but I still love the geese and I miss them when they’re gone.

      That’s the fun thing with domestic geese. These stay here year round. 🙂

      March to June is when they want to set on eggs. They are dangerous then. Now they just want me to feed them. 🙂

      I missed the Chinese geese, but I really do like all four breeds I have.

    Indeed, however there is nothing more awe-inspiring than seeing flocks of 1000s going to roost, the noise is unbelievable

      They are very noisy! My domestic geese are mostly stuck on the ground, but I do still adore them.

    They are a handful at times, but have become a part of our farm family over the years. 🙂

      I couldn’t imagine how quiet the farm would seem without their big voices.
