Although African gander will have a much larger Knob than a African goose will

I think we need an expert @jchny2000 looking at this angle looks like Hedi has larger knob but at 4 months they maybe too young to tell by knob. They are sure pretty.

When Buddy was younger he had angel wing and still dose I tried to fix it but it dint work. Heidi on the other hand her left wing was droping but that was soon fixed.

If you can get a picture of the 2 from ground level, it will help. It does appear that you have a pair, but will help to see legs and neck length comparison also. Hens voice is deeper, ganders have a high pitch. Lovely geese!
On the angel wing, when the bird molts, you can try to fix it again, thats the best time. I use vet wrap, and what worked for me is to wrap around the body first, then, wrap the wing to the body. This helped it stay for almost a week, and repaired the wing.

That's a great idea waiting till molt when they start growing in heir new feathers to wrap .

Hopefully Almond Goose will try again to correct it.
