Baby Canada Geese (Oversized mail, $1.25) or goslings, hatch roughly a month after the mother goose lays her eggs. Their coat of yellow to olive down soon turns dark grey, and feathers grow so they can fly. Goslings stay with their parents for a full year, returning with them after their first winter migration.
