I changed the oil on my crusty old tractor this afternoon; went inside to wash my hands & put the kettle on, came out & found 3 (formerly) white geese looking like 3 of the 101 Dalmatians

They are such characters. They like to get involved in everything.

Yes, I was thinking more about how errm 'manageable' they might or might not be during the process.

if I could get near them I'd try, but although they look a bit untidy, they now seem incredibly waterproof so a bit of a result

Oh yes.... ours seem to like 'tasting' quite a few things.... which, inevitably ends up in their water trough.

Ours nibble a lot - they will stand in a row clacking their beaks on a bar of the metal gate. Sure they will wear through it in the end....
