Sebastopol Geese Enjoying Their Swimming Pool

My Sebastopol geese love love love their time in the small kiddie pools I have set up for them and our ducks. My husband and I have not yet had time to build a pond for them , but they are pretty happy splashing in their little pools and any water trough or dish they can fit themselves into.

My geese are a family consisting of William and Trillium the parents, and 3 goslings they hatched out and raised. My geese bring me great joy and I love to sit in the poultry yard and watch them. They love to sit by the poultry yard gate and watch me !

Just Hanging Out With the Chickens

 I have kept chickens for almost 20 years now and have quite an accumulation ( hoard ) of old poultry stuff . The old waterers are rusting out and leak so I have re-cycled them. (Yeah...that's the word ! )

 Right now the tops of the waterers are keeping the fence posts dry , but I have a better use for them later. Um, well, I keep telling my husband that anyway.

 I have filled the bottoms of the waterers with plants, placed them on old benches around a comfortable Adirondack chair , along-side a table and there ya go ! I now have a lovely place to sip my morning coffee or tea while I watch my chickens. Hey....don't laugh, chickens are fun to watch !

My dogs agree, so there !

I am just hanging out with the chickens ...and the dogs. Happy moments for sure.

Smile In My Heart !

 Ella & Fella, my Sebastopol geese are growing up quickly ,

 and are so much fun to watch after I release them from their evening pen every morning.

Ella & Fella hang out with the frilly chickens and some ducks. If you're feeling low and need a smile in your heart, watching silly chickens, fluttering geese, and comical ducks is just the ticket ! If you don't have your own poultry then arm yourself with bread and crackers and head for the nearest duck pond . Quack- quack. ( To see more of my chickens lick here.) *

 

"O Lord, how many are Thy works ! In wisdom Thou hast made them all; The earth is full of Thy possessions. There is the sea , great and broad, In which are swarms without number, Animals both small and great...They all wait for Thee to give them their food in due season. Thou dost give to them, they gather it up; Thou dost open Thy hand, they are satisfied with good." Psalm 104:24-29

 

"He has told you ,O man ,what is good ; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God ? " Micah 6:8

Miss Frizzle Reacts

~This is the time of year I evaluate our poultry, place orders for new poultry, and read my poultry literature to keep up on what's going on in the poultry world. I had Miss Frizzle out to photograph her and I also had a stack of poultry literature out to read. I decided to get Miss Frizzles' opinion on my reading choices. Regarding the story book above she said "hmmmm, I could go for a vacation like this little chick, I think I will read more about this Cheepy Chick..." ~"Oh, this looks interesting, Kathy might be reading the article about Fowl Language and how to understand ME! This could be a good thing..."

~" EGGS? Cooking eggs ? Cooking ...EGGS!!!!!!! My babies?.........................................."

~" Oh no, this is very distressing...."~

~"I think I will just hide myself right here. Maybe Kathy will not notice me...."

~Maybe it was not such a good idea to let Miss Frizzle peruse my poultry reading resources.~
