New arrival in the Menagerie
« on: June 03, 2007, 12:06 »
"Gus" arrived today- a friend asked yesterday if we could give him a home as his mate has died - only 3 years old!! - As it happens he is 10 and in France called a Guinea Goose - however he is not as heavy as an African Goose so we think he is a chinese Goose - any help would be much appreciated.

He has already settled in and the goslings follow him about all over the paddock

Looks like a Chinese Goose to me.  Handsome looking critter ain't he?

Handsome and very gentle - he does not mind being picked up and has taken charge of the goslings - marshalling them around the place - bit like an old mother hen!
