Cheaper By The Dozen??

I almost fell over when I saw how many baby geese this set of Canadian Geese had with them! Did they see the movie "Cheaper By The Dozen"?  All of the babies followed the same pair of adults.  Families often will take rests near each other but I've not seen their offspring intermingle. I figure there are a couple goslings that look older because they were the first to hatch.  Typically the eggs are laid a day at a time and are also hatched a day at a time.  So, the oldest gosling could likely have hatched about 12 days before the last one.  YIKES!
