We finally found Abigail a mate. We had been searching high and low to bring her a mate this year. They have taken to each other quite well, He follows her wherever she goes. She has started to lay and we are so happy she will be able to make a nest this year, of her very own first clutch of goslings. Last year she sat on duck eggs!. She did an amazing job. These have always been one of my favorite geese and watching them walk the property together and make their goosy noise brings me great joy.. The loudness and all!!.
We built them a more secluded nesting area which we moved them to yesterday so she get can feel more comfortable to lay and know that her eggs will be protected. As she sits he stands right outside the nook and watches. What a good gander he is!.
It' s nice to see Abigail with one of her own she had been looking a bit lost amongst the chickens. She tolerated them but was literally calling for another goose. There is he is right behind her. I think they will happy together. Countdown to sweet toulouse goslings and a smile for Abigail.
