And yet another weakness

I got an e-mail today from one of the hatcheries.  They have geese on sale at a fantastic discounted price.  I have a nearly overwhelming desire to send them an order.  We haven't had geese at Prairie House for a few years now.  It is so tempting,  The order would include a variety of different breeds with no guarantee of genders.  We usually order this type of shipment from the hatcheries as it is always so much fun to see what a variety they send.

The minimum order is 8 geese.  So now the question I'm pondering:  Is 8 enough?

Our current fowl count is 49 chickens (roosters and hens), 6 ducks (two trios), and 5 guineas (all males), and 4 turkeys.  Surely I can find room for more feathered friends.

I wonder how Thor will get along with geese? They are kind of mean and nasty.

I think he will be able to handle them. Those goats bet mean and nasty with him occasionally too.
