Congratulations @farmstead on winning a Special Award in the Homestead Happiness contest with this great post. Those geese are great!

Thanks so much!! :)

I met @teeteresaflory in person today!

So cool! I have been hanging out with @vcelier all weekend!

(Also, Gucks in the first paragraph instead of ducks!)

Thanks for trying to catch a typo! But it was on purpose. I call my ducks and geese collectively "gucks". :) you did happen to miss my real typo of case instead of cause. ;) haha

It is always cool to meet like-minded people! Hard to meet people when you're rural. Haha thank goodness for internet!

Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it!

interesting are these the type of geese some folks use as guard dogs ? thanks for sharing

I don't know what breed mine are, they're a mix. But I think any geese could be guard geese. Haha :)

Those geese are probably about as close as you'll ever get to a duck bill dinosaur... :-)

Their bills are pretty intimidating, that's for sure! Haha

That was a very cool post. Very cool to catch a glimpse of your day today. UpVote and Resteem from me, thl!

Thanks!! :) much appreciated!

I've always liked geese. They have a lot of personality. I haven't seen goose eggs at any market that I have been to, what do you raise them for?
P.S. Be sure to keep any down that you find, you can use or sell it later.

I got them out of curiousity mostly, haha, and for eggs. :) might try selling babies or something. I am supposed to have one male and two females. Haha

You know it is bad when you find more peace with your animals than you do are around other people. Have a great day!

I definitely prefer to stick with animals, that's for sure! Haha thanks for stopping by!

We have definitely experienced that with our ducks. Even the ones that we've had since a day old want nothing to do with us

I was hoping my ducks would imprint on me, maybe if I can get some hatching eggs it would work out that way. But I think it doesn't work so well if they have a "flock" to be in.

I don't know. I think you have to spend a lot of time with them. I
didn't want to do that because I knew the males were going to be butchered and I don't think I'm going to handle it well so the less attached I am the better!

That's my philosophy also. Haha

The geese are huge and so cute! They almost didn't look real. I love the noise they make for you. I would be yelling back at them all day long! Or at least until I lost my voice. :)

I do! Hahahah I yell with them/at them all the time. I try to mimic them. Haha. They think I'm weird, I'm sure!!

I bet they love it when you try to be one of them. :)


Reading these challenge posts is probably the best thing for a gloomy morning. They just brighten your day, even if the sun is hidden. Thank you for sharing! :-)Such a nice post @farmstead! It always fill me with a feeling of awwwwe to see someone interact with animals (or even plants, or bugs) in a way that they appreciate it. What's even more, is to see them enjoy it the same way.

Wow, you have no idea how happy that makes me to hear something like this! Wow! I am so glad!

Yes, I will will be visiting you! I am really excited to spend more time with you! You are beautiful both inside and out!❤

Awe, thank you! Your donation will actually be going to chicken feed! Haha

Cool! I am good with that😊

Thank you for your entry @farmstead - I love the goose clip.

I'm really happy you enjoyed it! These guys make me smile, every day!
