Finally, what we've all been waiting for.... a goose!

Hello all! I have finally got you the picture we've all been waiting for... that of the elusive Jolly Goose! This little girl got papped en route to the water trough this morning ... by the looks of things she had a pretty heavy night - look at those bleary eyes!

Oh no! I haven't put my 'face' on!

When the goslings first arrive they are bright yellow with pink beaks and black eyes (check out the photos of on last year's posts) but now they have started turning white, their little beaks are turning orange and their eyes are a lovely blue. Pretty little things!                                          

They're enjoying the rich grass in their paddock and seem to be growing bigger each day! The first mini honks have also started - in a few weeks it will be no more tweeting and a lot more honking. Do not be afeard, this paddock is full of noises!



And the geese have just had some new neighbours move in... 71 lambs! Both sides of the fence are pretty intrigued by the residents...

So now that's geese, pigs, sheep and calves....what ever will be next for The Jolly Various Livestock Co? Oh yeah, the turkeys arriving in two weeks time! Uh oh!
