Thank you Winderdear for keeping up with me!! Your input has been awesome. I'm really excited to see how these guys all grow up to be. Slightly distracted with my baby geese right now but will keep updating!

9 week update! Their combs haven't grown very much, still red but havent gotten any redder, but the red on the wings has definitely spread. Its mostly on the wing but also the chest and back. Still no crowing. Some fighting between them but everyone seems to be doing that. Here are the other...
