Our New Baby Gosling!

Last night we had a baby!

Fortunately, no birth pains for mama.

At 4:30 this morning little ‘Peepers’ chewed an escape hatch around the top of his egg, and burst forth into the world!

Technically it isn’t a chick, instead it is called a gosling. For you non-farm folks, that’s a baby goose!


We are so happy to have our very first springtime baby…

I have seen the miracle of avian birth at least one hundred times, but I am still amazed every single time that I see it!

What do baby geese have to do with survival?

Well, we eat our geese and their eggs!

I know, you city slickers are saying, “Yuck!”

But we like Christmas goose!

YEAH!
