The African and Chinese goose thread!!

My spring feed store 'White Chinese' goslings are grown up now, and confusing. Moo Shu's mini dewlap is a headscratcher, and I can't see any conformation differences between them and the Brown Africans.

Am I correct in the knobs big enough now to make them both officially ganders?

Sunshine (African) got a companion! Someone dumped this beautiful (I think girl) goose at the state park I work at. It took the rangers a couple weeks to catch her but now she lives here and Sunshine is over the moon for her. She seems rather content so have him around too :) Based on a whole bunch of guesses from random people on Facebook, I'm thinking she's possibly toulouse x white Chinese. I've named her Gypsy.

"He" unfortunately. Gypsy ended up being a gander that decided that he hated my car. He put scratches the whole way around it from biting at it. He found a new home on an actual farm. Sunshine does now have a proven female companion though. I found him a young toulouse goose to keep him company....Lily goose

Ah, geese.... They can be so finicky about the strangest things. Shame you couldn't keep him, but these two look lovely as well :)
