So yesterday morning in the egg incubator:
A few hours later, he's taking a break from his efforts..
It took him about 8 hours of struggle to finally get out, from first little wee crack to finally kicking off the last bit of shell. Another hour of resting and drying and he looked like a proper little gosling!
Handsome little guy, isn't he?
We are pretty sure he is a gander (male) because of his breed (African Gray Goose) and the baby sized little bump on his bill. Female geese usually don't have that at hatching.
We went round and round on his name, but finally settled on Ryan.
Seemed appropriate...and I sorta see the resemblence.

I see it, LOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the beak/bill, right? And the hair, lol!
DeleteCongrats on the gosling! Not sure if the "real" Ryan would look so handsome if he were holding that ball of fluff though.
ReplyDelete*Our* Ryan is so stinkin' cute, he would outshine any Hollywood pretty boy!
