Here are some of our geese and a few chickens too.

And some geese by themselves.

We have some new arrivals too!  There are three of them, and all three were hatched by one of our chickens who was very broody, and rarely got off the nest.  Just as a joke, we put some goose eggs under her, and the joke was on us when all three of the goose eggs hatched.  The biggest one is called Seven since he was born on 7/7/2012 and because  he is such a lucky guy.  The other two were born a month later.  Not being very original, we named Seven's two siblings just eight and nine.  Seven is the bigger one bringing up the rear, and eight is the one nearest the camera.  Nine is, of course, leading the pack!
