I have read that the african goose is leaner than most other large breeds, and that it is an excellent weeder. How true are these in ya'lls experience?

All geese are excellent weeders or rather grass mowers.
African and Chinese geese are suppose to have less fat in the meat.

How do you get a white Dewlap African goose- breeding wise? Is it crossing a Chinese with a super African?
I have recently bought 5 (2 males 3 females) African Geese and 1 Embden female goose. I already have chickens and ducks too just always thought it’d be fun to have geese too! I was so looking fed to eating big eggs and incubating them! But unfortunately after having them a month now I have only found 1 egg! I am hoping they are just hiding them and I will find them soon! Otherwise I’m thinking they are too stressed out with my other flocks of ducks and chickens! They don’t like anyone near them and honk at everything!

Breeding and egg laying season is just about or is over for geese. They breed and lay starting in late winter and lay usually up till June. Then they will molt and be their docile selves until the next winter. They really have a hard time with changes too so give them another month and they will probably be apart of the flock of ducks and chickens, They sure are pretty. @Momma Jo
