Goslings


Here's a fun little discovery of a Muscovy duck and Goose nesting together.
The white fowl is a Chinese White Goose with her goslings. The black fowl is a Muscovy duck sitting on her eggs. The honking fellow at the beginning of the clip is a Chinese Grey Goose. He is her mate. Geese mate for life.
Geese farmers have been known to keep Muscovy ducks because they are better at keeping a nest. They would put the geese eggs in the ducks nest.
