Mohamed or Geese?
May. 20th, 2010 02:49 pmApparently today is Everybody Draw Mohamed Day. And While I fully support this push for freedom of speech, I don't think I could do any better than Rocket Song so I point you in his direction, and instead I'll post about geese.
Speedy (the grayer one) and Wobbles are a lot more independent now. When I go out they ask to be let out of the chicken/horse/goose yard so they can munch on all the nice green stuff growing in the main yard, but they don't need to follow me around as much. They still run after us sometimes, mostly if they are startled by something (like M starting up the weed whacker).
H spends a lot of time with them. She'll lay on her back on the ground and get them to settle down on her stomach and chest. Once on her they are very calm and contented, like she is a nice warm nest.
As the following pictures illustrate, they got very big, very fast.

H holding the babies at 2 days old.

On a walk at 1 week old.

Five days later, cuddling with H.

C watching them in the chicken yard at a little over three weeks old.

Doing their spread wing run at almost 1 month old.

Same day, relaxing in their pool.
