post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Can anyone help me figure out the sex of these guys. They are 7 months old now these pictures are 2 months old I will take more tomorrow and put them up.

 

IS there something I can look for? one is taller,  is more vocal  and  is a bit more lets say brave lol.

There is only two things you can do: a). wait for eggs or no eggs or b). get them DNA tested.

 

Sometimes you can tell ganders from the gooses by watching them and seeing the personality differences, but not always. Good luck

If its important to know now then I would DNA sex for certainty.  Last year I vent sexed some of our Toulouse and made a few mistakes!!!

Post some updated pictures of the sebastopols for everyone to look at. They will be a bit more easy to maybe tell what they might be.

I know I bred my pure white goose with our grey gander I had two goslings hatch a grey splash gander and a grey female.

Do you know the parents of these??

I will take some pictures tomorrow of updated versions. They were bred by grey sebastopols and white sebs.
