    Default 08 Tiercel Gos

    There was a delay in shipping and arriving, but I finally receive my Gos from Lance Christensen @10:30 tonight. He didn't seem too eager to meet right out of the crate but settled down rather quickly. After I prepare his bowl I weighed him at 652 grams empty (last meal was 10 hours ago). Put his covered food in his bowl and let him settle down. After a few minutes of him watching my sons RC car zooming by and distracted I remove the towel covering his food. Then my son and I watch from a few ft distance when he realize there is food and began to feed himself about 3 ounces of chopped quail. I'll find out his hatch date tomorrow morning but I think he is around 25 days old. I also need to build some sort of imprint box because he is already getting out and walking a lot and the wife already gave me THE look. So it begins...

    still in the crate

    in his bowl but he is old enough to get out

    that is a standard size tennis ball

    Awesome! (which means "jealous" in falconry speak)

    I do feel bad for you guys who get "the look."

    Confirmation from Lance this morning that my boy hatched on May 14th making him 26 days old today and he was imprinted since day one.

    Thanks Tom, the look wasn't so bad as it has been downgraded from "the stare." She actually help move him to the kitchen this morning when I was still asleep to get more socialization. My wife is taking this better than I thought.

    Kory, thanks for all the how-to thread pertaining to gos, it's giving me a lot of ideas. I am going to start on an imprint tank just like yours.

    John, he is a Finnish and I will definitely have fun with him.

    Ling,

    Just got home from the mtns and saw this! CONGRATS! He looks great! So excited (jealous as hell) for you! Can't wait to watch this thread and see him turn into a killing machine.
