One of our geese is kind of homely LOL. It is a toulouse looking, younger looking goose, fully grown, but not as big as the "big" geese. Anyway, the feathers on the ends of his wings stick straight out like airplane wings. I just figured the robust little spanish lady who caught him with a net when I bought him rumpled them up and it it would fix itself, either through normal use & grooming or after a molt. Well, it has been several months and the poor homely guy (or girl) still looks like an airplane. It doesn't bother me at all, I was really just curious if it was always going to look like that? I ask because I went to a farm last weekend that had large geese, and several of them had wacky feathers, so it made me think it was just how some of them are?. Just wondering. Thank you.
