New Additions

Well next week we will be getting new additions to our family! Six Toulouse Geese! :) Actually they will be goslings, only a few days old when we get them.

I can't wait!

It is gonna be so neat to have geese. I never have before and I never thought I would be able to talk Michael into it. But I did. :)

They are gonna be pets, but I will also be gathering their quills to use for my Calligraphy! :)

And no, you do NOT pluck the geese. You wait until they molt (which basically means when they shed their feathers) , which is in June or July, and then you pick them up off the ground. So I won't have any feathers actually until next year, because they don't molt til they are at least a year old.

I will post pictures as soon as I get them. :)

I will also get some new pictures of the boys and post them soon too..
