Kansas troopers honored for bravery in deadly I-70 pileup The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office posted the following message about the newborns: We're honk-ing with joy to announce the arrival of some of the cutest new residents near the Sedgwick County Jail entrance — a fluffy little gaggle of baby geese (yes, they're called goslings, and yes, they're ridiculously cute)!
