Six weeks old, if that helps...part of a Murray McMurray ornamental goose collection via Metzer, but we did have other geese in the order

Agreed. it´s leggy, has a long neck, smallish body in comparison, has an angled head, it´s very white...all points more to chinese.It seems so lanky to be an Embden. It may well be an Embden but it could be a Chinese. Not an expert on that though. It seems so white for an Embden that age. That is what makes me think Chinese. It also seems to walk very upright.
Now that you say that about the head being angled, I would say with a fair amount of certainty it is a Chinese.Agreed. it´s leggy, has a long neck, smallish body in comparison, has an angled head, it´s very white...all points more to chinese.
There seems to be quite a variation both in type and in personality, even within the same colour. Google images of chinese geese, both colours, and you´ll see quite a variety.This one and it's brother/sister were all yellow as babies and all white as they get their new feathers. The buff geese are the biggest, then the pilgrims and tufted Romans and these guys. I did have brown Chinese and can't say these remind me of them. Any chance they could be non-tufted Romans? Not sure how the genetics of that breed work. In lieu of any information to the contrary, we are calling 'him' Sebastian. He is as sweet and lovely as he looks. Always one of the first to come over to say hi.
The brown Chinese seemed kind of scatty, do the whites have quite a different personality?
