All six of Mama Goose's eggs have all hatched successfully! The final gosling made its way into the world around 11am this morning! The goose that laid 6 golden eggs, now has 6 incredible golden goslings! The goslings are very active and squirmy and are going to be walking all over Mom! About 24-48 hours after hatching, the goslings will take a leap of faith and jump off the nest. Both parents will call & vocalize to the goslings from the ground which prompts them all to jump one right after another! It is an amazing leap of faith to watch! The goslings are very light & will flap their wings going down and remarkably survive the jump due to having a high percentage of chondroid bone, a springy skeletal tissue intermediate between cartilage and bone. Thus they will bounce when they land and immediately start to follow Mom to the water! Incredible! Thank you for watching!
