I have a 13 week old brown Chinese goose that I've named Peepers. I still don't know if this goose is male or female, but he/she sure mimics our 18 month old white Chinese gander in body language, has the same long neck, is about the same size as the gander but the nose knob isn't as large and the voice is lower, almost hoarse. Now I'm hearing him/ her croon in a mournful way over a nest of eggs. This seems so strange since having waterfowl is a new experience for me. Someone suggested I vent sex him, but I know now I'm not up to doing that and I'm hoping someone would have enough experience with these birds to be able to make an educated guess on the gender based on my description. Other wise, time will tell, but I'm dying to know now. . The crooning really has me puzzled. Thanks for any help you have to offer.
