I only got mine (Pilgrim pair) in February and they are seriously sitting on 7 eggs in a chicken coop which was only meant to be a very temporary thing. We keep getting more and more snow so I haven't been able to move their barn home but cannot interrupt the laying process now.
All they do is hiss at me if I stay too long in the coop, watering and checking the feed (they aren't eating hardly at all) and making sure they have clean bedding.
She took one of my fingers in her bill a week ago when I moved some romaine lettuce leaves at the edge of the nest but only to "hold" without pressure, as a warning.
I'm hoping they trust me enough when and a big IF they hatch any goslings because I am determined to be picking up those cutie pies and keeping them tame since their parents don't know me hardly at all...
