First Bath

Well the geese got their first bath today!

I put about three inches of warm water in the tub (yes I measured it) and then added the geese!

They were not real sure what to make of it though.. They all stayed in a tight little pack. After a few min they would dip their heads under water and then shake their heads and they were preening themselves and each other. But they never did venture away from each other.

It is all new to them and I am sure they will grow more accustomed to it.. :) They get to have another bath on Tuesday.

Later this afternoon, they are going into a bigger cage! They have literally doubled their size in one week!

Unfourtantely the bigger cage will not fit in the house, so we will have to put them on the back porch. We are gonna add extra heat lamps and make sure part of the cage is covered so they can stay nice and warm..

I am a bit unhappy though cause I was not ready for them to go out on the porch yet! I want to keep them inside with me. Oh well, it isn't like I can't bring them in the house at all :) I have a big rubbermaid tub I can put them in and bring them inside! :)

Hopefully I will get some more pictures of them later today!

I only left them in their ten min, so they wouldn't get too chilled.
