Well look what I found in my regular growout pen today... an olive egg layer! You can see the beautiful green beside the regular blue celadon.

Have you ever had a gander fall in love with you? It's such a painful relationship. Simple chores like filling the water suddenly become more difficult because apparently it's really sexy. "Gentle" goose nibbles that are meant for goose skin really pinch on human skin Currently looking for a female to keep him occupied so I can fill the water in peace again #lookingforloveinallthewrongplaces #singlegoose #goosedatingprofile #embden #gander #goosetinder

I'll be sharing some chick comparison shots over the next couple weeks... I've officially become the quail chick photographer over here. Shall I say how many shots it took to get the perfect one? Autumn Amber vs. Italian

Got some pretty cool colours going on here! Cant wait to see them feather out! Check out Bushmans Birdhouse on Facebook if you're interested in getting some eggs.
