Was out fishing the backyard this evening and watched some families of geese with their young.
Family #1----1 gosling
Family #2----3 goslings
Family #3----7 goslings!!
Outta nowhere comes Family #4---------wait for it
counted 21 young ones trailing behind momma and papa.
NEVER seen that many chicks as a group before------dont know if there"s such a thing as a record but its gotta be close.

Gotta be "adopted." But it is still amazing! I think 5-6 is the maximum eggs in a clutch for geese. It isn't unheard of though for orphans to be adopted. Twenty-one? Wow!
