Quote: That is fine @naaif it is just hormones and she is trying to get him to respond to her. Is she still laying eggs? or had she laid any yet I can't remember.
Quote: Still no eggs? how old are they? can you get as good up to date pic of them full body front in other words looking straight at them. Is one acting more protective than the other?

Well then you'd better come and let my embden ganders know that they need to suck it in, cause everyone of them has one!
This is 2 embden ganders at about (supposedly) 14 months old
This is one of the same ganders about 6 months later (in back)
The embdens in this pic are 3 ganders and 1 goose, one of the ganders and the goose are young, about 7 months old
This is a pic of the 2 younger ones, the female is in front. Notice the difference in beak color
ETA: On feathersite http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Geese/BRKEmbden.html the 3rd pic down has a pair of adult embdens, both lobed.
Holderread's pictures of male and female embdens show both with lobes http://www.holderreadfarm.com/photogallery/embden_page/embden_page.htm
Both male and female Embdens are supposed to be lobed (the pouch under their bellies), but they don't normally get it until they are over 1 year old. So if you have an embden that does not have lobes, chances are it is a youngster.
