I let a goose lay her eggs in front of the door to my woodshop, as she aint real maternal and usually abanded the nest after a few hours of setting.

She's been on the nest for 18ish days now and hisses at me and tries to bite my gouty foot when I pass.She got me twice with a nifty Linda Blairesque head swivel.I stifled the urge to strangle it.Now her baby daddy is on the nest with her,leaving me no room to get by.It is a goose gauntlet.I have outsmarted said geese by throwing a sheet on them, so I can slither by.
I have heard it takes 21ish days for the eggs to hatch.I will have a camera ready for the blessed event.
If event does not occur, I will pelt the geese with their unhatched eggs.

You realize, don't you, that this makes you Grandpa Beedums.

You'll be at Baby Goosegap, buying onesies for the goslings.

That's the photo I'd like to have.

This scenario just makes me quiver with delight.

When it comes time to buy diapers Luvs are cheaper than Pampers.

I here gooses can sniff out bad hair gel. That might be why they are pecking at you.

This subject matter is just too good to pass up.

Uly, that may be the most apt avatar yet!

Too bad it isn't closer to Thanksgiving.

Are these Canada geese, beedums? The time for them to hatch sounds about right, but all that should have happened back at the end of April or early May, for the goslings to mature in time to take part in the fall migration.

You better plan on sheltering this family for the whole winter!

Please remember, when feeding your flock, that sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Yur welcum.

they are common white geese.they lay eggs from aprilish to septemberish.
they are too fat to fly.
I dont think the egg mama is turning over the eggs enough.Also, one egg is missing.I intuit it is from another goosette who snuck one of her eggs onto the pile.
The egg daddy bit me again.
I snapped his behind with a towel.

I hope there's a hidden camera somewhere nearby capturing all of this.
I would love to see it!

The whole thing just makes me laugh and laugh.
