New additions

This week-end there will be two, maybe three, new additions to my little farm.  A pair of Toulouse geese.  I have a pond with an island in the middle and I've been thinking about getting either ducks or geese and for some reason I was leaning toward the geese.  There was an ad on Craigslist for a free pair of geese and I went to look at them.  Of course, before I went I asked the neighbor across the street if she minded if I got them because geese can be noisy and she said no, as long as they don't do their business in her yard.  Hopefully they will stay on the pond. There are several large wooden boxes in the barn and I'm going to use one to make a little shed for the geese by the pond and I'm going to put fencing around it and hopefully that will keep them on or near the pond. There are going to be lots of bugs and things for them to eat. Where they are right now they have a wading pool as their pond and they are good sized geese.  When I got there to look at them to make sure they were friendly, which they are, the lady also has a bourbon red tom turkey that she wants me to take.  I'm not sure about him.  I'm not sure where I could house him, maybe in another one of the big wooden boxes under the locust trees by the barn.  I'm beginning to get quite a menangerie of animals on my little farm.
