I love y’all so very much, so please don’t take my advice the wrong way. I remember when Jami got all the OG geese as babies and had them in a big trough. She went outside every day trying to make them friendly. Look at them today, they don’t charge or chase her, but they don’t allow her to pet them either. I would say try to spend time around the goslings so they know you’re ok, but don’t take them away from the parents.❤

Please leave them with their mother and father. Let nature take its course. Trying to tame them is sweet but perhaps a little unrealistic just be around them as they grow and maybe they will get used to you. That’s the best you can do. don’t be cruel and take them away from their parents. I know you have a kind heart and would only want the best for them.❤❤❤🙌🏻

Let mama goose raise her hatchlings without human interaction since they are already born. As for preventing goose, duck, or chicken hatching in the future, take the eggs from the nest daily as a form of birth control. You and LE have enough farm chores to do per day without trying to raise and tame any more hatchings in addition to running ISS with proper care.

I hand raised geese, but when grown, just as bad as the rest. Leave with parents.

I may be totally wrong, but 1 goose would be friendly, but more than that, they just become a flock....its natural geese behavior ❤

This time I would let the babies stay with their family. But you may want to collect all eggs in the future. Without Tiny Tim collecting eggs every day, you may get eventually overrun! You really need a pig to do an egg patrol! 💖🤔💖😉😊

For me pull it from Mom till they are big enough because of the turtle or talk to Jake to get the turtle rehome somewhere by the river. He used to trapped them. Just a thought! 😊

Do not separate them, let nature do its job. I understand wanting them to be friendly however geese aren't typically friendly like other animals. You can't win all the animals over. ❤

You decide, but Farmlife includes Farm Animal Management...taking eggs is part of that... it's like spaying and neutering cats and dogs... separating bulls and heifers...roosters and hens...❤❤

The goslings are so cute. I

I would leave the gosslings with their parents. Your heart is in the right place.

Leave them be. I think you have too many geese and ducks as it is already. You need to get it under control.

So let mama raise her babies ,they work hard to hatch their babies I think they need to be with mama ❤❤❤❤❤

I think you did a great job with the baby ducks keeping them all safe in the stalls and if you guys didn’t get the flood your plan to get them socialized would have worked so I think taking them and getting them socialized would be great

Leave the goslings with the geese . They will learn from them to be protectors . And how to be geese . And they are imprinted now to their parents .

I think unless you need to intervene to help save a life, they(goslings) should stay with Mom and the other geese that are helping Mom raise them. That is just what I would do if it were me.

I may be wrong Megan, but it seems to me that Jamie was socializing the geese when they were little so is that something you have to keep up? I’ve been around a lot of geese and yes, yours are loud and yes, they like to chase after you, but they’re more social than that here in Minnesota.

Please keep them as a family ❤

Megan, leave the babies with mom and dad. I’m sorry there are just too many birds. I would pull all of the birds in the future and not let them hatch. Sorry but that’s my opinion.

If it was me i would let nature take its course and just do everything humanly possible to care for them during their lives letting live the best life possible while they can you and LE are doing great no matter what others may say i love your heart

Since Tiny Tim (population control) isn't around to eat the eggs as they are laid any longer. I suggest you borrow Paw Paw's brooder and collect eggs from under geese or ducks and hatch them yourself. That way there is no attachment to a mama but you. But if something isn't done you are going to be over run by ducks and geese.

I am very proud of you, farm strong is more than physically strong, but mentally too.

I don't know anything about birds/geese/ducks... so my opinion may be impossible. Yet, I will say that if it is possible to make them, even partially like Pablo was, I'd say go for it. That is if this is something you want to do. I don't think you would be breaking up the family, just making it better. Better for all if the animals of any species are friendly. You also may be able to get the pup better adjusted to the ducks/geese if there is some you could actually interact with and help her interact with in a friendly manner. Love you guys, and no matter what you decide, I think you all are doing a wonderful job!❤

My experience with geese is that they are NOT touchy, feely. If you want to try it with ducks you will be more successful. Just my opinion.

Let them raise them if you see them not taking care, then step in

Thats a hard choice. I've seen geese that were raised by people and they were much friendlier but I feel like the mom should raise them. Maybe collect eggs next time and get an incubator and give it a try.

I could understand wanting them friendly knowing how all the others are. I am not sure how that will go though cause it seems like they will have a major separation anxiety situation if doing so. I mean maybe it wouldn't be for long but you never really know. I say do what you feel is best. Love you and LE both! ❤

It would be nice to have friendly geese. But then it's sad for the mama.

Birds, like many animals, required a ton of time to make the tame. Daily sitting with them and hand feeding would eventually make progress. That is the only way and it would be a forever commitment. Jami got too busy to deal with them and they went back to the flock dynamic. Maybe if you sat on a bucket in the pasture away from all the other animals .. just the geese around, you might make progress. There are wild geese at a park near me and they are so used to people feeding them that they will eat out of your hands. If you want to pet them you would need a goose to choose you as its mate. That is nice but also can be annoying. Then that one goose will be protective of you. 😂 Geese are incredible parents so I would leave the babies with them. That one momma seems friendly enough. She isn’t hissing at you as much as some of the others. Maybe she is a way in with the hand feeding? Then her babies will be less scared too 😊❤ Just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️💚

If you want them tame take them. Then after handling them every day for a good bit put them with your chickens they are excellent protection. Have a good night and may your days be blessed stay safe

I think it’s ok to take them and socialize them. It’s not going to hurt momma goose or the babies to take them.

Maybe just keep feeding them in a special place like where they are nesting right now so they get used to having that food in that spot and they will come up to you and allow you to get close to them and maybe pet on them. Otherwise, they will stay with mom and dad. If mom and dad are trusting enough to come to get their food in that spot Where they are currently laying, maybe they will be more gentler towards you, but otherwise living in the farm yard. I think it would be way too much time on your part to continuously have goslings follow you everywhere you go all throughout the day. And as others have said, you might have to keep them next to your hip at all times. That would be too much work. Best of luck. They certainly won’t be a Pablo… But that would be nice! Sure miss Pablo. 🥰

If you want friendly geese Meg you really need to have it glued to your hip and take it everywhere with you take it from me who used to raise quails and quails can easily fly away and I literally had to take it everywhere with me and it did never flew away just make sure it’s glue to your hip at all times even when you go to sleep have it next to you. I know you don’t want to have a smelly Gosling in the house but just literally keep it clean and have a diaper on it. 😊 good luck I can’t wait to see your journey with it. 😊😊

Sanctuary goal to give them their best life… Please let it be natural… If you really want to do that go choose some already separated… It would be like someone came in n took your baby. The one on the roof make a nesting box to hold eggs n mom… Mean no harm…

The ducks aren't "Pablo" friendly. I sure miss seeing Pablo - he was one special guy and in my opinion, irreplaceable. I like to think he'll be back some day, but if not, I hope he found another home where he's as loved and well treated as the time he spent at Ima Survivor.

I caught an old video with Pablo in it. Gosh I miss seeing his waggy tail.

Please let them stay as a family, and just go buy some more to be your friendly fathers. Love ya all.

I would leave them with mama or maybe try one of them but what you decide I will support you

I think you should leave them with mom. She loves those babies.

So darling! ❤❤

Leave them with mom....😊

It must have been Jake! The peacocks typically go to the homes where Jake is.

Sanctuary not a petting zoo. Please respect the natural needs of the animals. Why take away their babies so you can pet them? They teach their young how to live, feed, survive. Imagine having your babies taken from you after birthing, or hatching 🐣 Please leave them to be raised by their parents.

Megan I definitely wouldn’t buy any more birds especially geese and ducks. You can try to socialize them while they are young. Remember geese can be protectors and alarms But it’s your place and I support what you will end up doing. Love You!

How is Cornholio doing this summer?

I´d suggest to leave them with their parents. I do understand your wish to have tame geese, however they were not born to be pets. Love your care for all animals!

Megan, if you want Sassy to be able to be able to set/hatch her eggs, you might want to do what Brooke @ Cog Hill is doing for her Victoria Crown pigeons. She made a "sided" box for their nest, so that eggs wouldn't be able to fall out. L.E. , or Jake, could make one for that area, with 6" sides ( 1x6 boards ), and, using a ladder, put it up there for Sassy to have her nest inside of the "box". That way, her eggs would be safe. Just a suggestion, since you're losing fertilized eggs every day. If you don't care about the loss, just forget what I suggested. Good luck~~

Taking animal from their mom takes away their natural imprinting process...this can end up putting them at risk for attack...

Megan as a mother, please leave them with their mom don’t take them just because you want nice skis

I think living with Mom

Please leave them with their mum. To many feathers at IMS . You do a good job but I think tou have got side tracked to what IMS is.❤

Leave them with their mom Megan. What Lester did with Carrie's remaining two babies? I know one baby named David passed away due to Trudy but where are other two? Lester don't want to talk about them, I knew that he will never unite the babies with Carrie after separating them and he did the same thing never united them with their mother. Poor Carrie cried for several days!

Leave them😘but don't allow any more to happen. Take the eggs. They are way to cute❤ we have duck's and chicken🐔🐓🐤 they are like family

I think you should try and make them more friendly if that is what you want. 🙂

I say leave them with their mom. She can take care of them from the turtles.

🥰😍😘

Geese are Geese, leave them with Mom! You will have some babies you will have to raise! Don't make work, when it is not needed. jmo

The only super friendly geese i have ever seen were ones raised away from other geese. If you interact with them often as babies they will be less aggressive but never cuddly. I would leave them with Mom, geese are annoying but the best alarm system it there.

Maybe Next batch don’t take these. Maybe work on getting rid of the turtles! 🐢 just a suggestion.

I say take them Megan ❤... think you're getting to many feathers hon 😊

Just because you take them away from mom doesn't mean they will turn out to be friendly the way you want.

❤

Maybe you should get you an egg pig, so you don't get over populated with eggs. Pigs love eggs.

Hello Megan ❤😊

Leave them with Mom and dad

I think you should leave these and go and buy the ones you want trained ❤❤❤

I think that you should leave the goslings with their parents. Unless there is a medical issue or the parents are unable to care for them, they should stay with their parents and the rest of the flock, to learn the life skills which they will need.

Hello ❤

Leave with mom...

I’ve never seen a friendly goose. Duck yes

I think the first thing you should do is examine your motivation for wanting to "socialize" a gosling...if it's not anything with more substance than "just to see if it can be done," I would advise against doing so...let nature take its course and let the family be...

afternoon Megan

The only geese I have seen that are pet friendly are single and never been around other geese.

Whatever you think!❤❤❤

Don't take these babies, leave with Mama.

Can they go to Tina’s places?…. If not it would be best to pull them. You can only handle so many.

Leave with mom

I love all the birds. Share some with Jami and Lester if you think there is to many. Start collecting eggs every day and eith give them away or sell the like Kim does. You can eat geese, ducks, and chicken eggs. Reduce the goat herds, there are way to many.

Goes bad real fast. Lol

💙🩵💖❤️💜

Don’t take them.

You don’t need more ducks or geese. So take them away.

Geese are just mean

I would leave them with mom but be interactive with them as much as possible so that they will be friendly enough to not charge at you. ❤ 💜🫶🏻
