Livestock is so funny, sometimes you can look at critters and just know, that you would not want to spend your days looking or interactings with that critter.. laugh at me if you will but I don’t like piggy goats, I don’t like to see pink pigs, I would never want to share my world with a arab horse, I have never owned a silky chicken in my life and can’t see that changing anytime soon, I don’t get off on top knots, I don’t like chickens, or ducks that have big puffy things on their heads, necks or feet.. I can admire them for what they are, but I don’t want to share my world with them..
So when I saw honk I knew I liked that big guy, no one wanted him because he was without mate and a mixbreed, but I snapped him up and have never looked back and I have been looking at geese as he really needs a mate, but just had not found one that I “really wanted” until I wanted into a barn yesterday, know I walked past pens full of some very nice and good looking geese, I could admire them but they didn’t draw me..
But then I saw her, she may not be a good example of the breed, but she had so much to love, that heart shaped body, that deep breast, clean head and look, and o so SO pretty, then I saw her boyfriend and loved it, he is all she is not.. he has the length where she is short, he has the depth of body where she has the spread..
I should have asked for to take a picture for you but I was so busy talking, I forgot that I had the cameria with me to be honest, I tried to buy the female, to be honest, I would have bought the set, but alas it was not meant to be.. so I will settle for the getting of offspring of this lovely pair.
I am quite excited about them, I don’t care that they are not “show” they are built well and they will be farm!
Here are two photo examples of them from the net.. Love that they are also a nod to my grandpa’s german roots..





Don’t think I’ve heard about Honk before; what breed of goose is he?

Don’t know, just sold as a mixed gander..but I linked in a couple posts for you in regards to photos of him, he does such a good job on guarding the flock, such a good boy.. O and unless someone comes up with something I like better, I am heavily leaning towards tick, tac toe for the names..love that!
LOL! It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw their picture: )
Love their plumage, but they’ve got THE weirdest looking heads… like some kind of prehistoric creature:P
