im looking for an id on these geese if possible...the couple at the back of the picture and the grey gander at the right of the photo?

im guessing the white geese are just 'farmyard' geese?

 

many thanks!

Looks like you have a pair of either small africans or big chinese in the back. The birds on the right look like pilgrims and the pair id say are embdens.
I raise show quality brown africans, white sebastopols, silver laced wyandottes and rouens.

I'd say they are hatchery quality Africans.  Chinese Geese are really slender.

the big grey goose IS a gander, he's been breeding our girls and is the father of the girl next to him  :)

Funny, I didn't know Africans/Chinese could have orange bills (referring to the goose in the back with his/her head down)...

Occassionally, hatchery birds aren't actually purebreds.
