Crossing white chinese gander with brown chinese goose will give me what?

[Chicken Love]

Hi! I have a white chinese gander and brown chinese goose mating and producing eggs. If I let them set, what will I end up with? Some browns and some whites or more like all pieds? I just want them for weeders, so I know I'm not keeping the breed pure by crossing them. Will the offspring be fertile or mules? Any info would be most helpful

White gander, Brown goose...I have both...let's see if I remember this right...Male offspring white, female brown.

I have not had any infertility issues. Make sure you have water for them to breed in.

You should get white females and brown splash or the more rare grey boys. You are not crossbreeding.... you are mixing colors within the same breed and, of course, the babies will be purebred Chinese.... and very fertile.

Thanks Utah...I had forgotten about the splash and grey. I have a goose sitting on the very cross right now with some in the incu.

I have that cross waiting to go into the incubator. I was wondering the same thing.

Sorry...got the gander, goose backwards.

Cool! sounds awesome-- do you have any photos of these color combos?

So this cross can produce sex linked goslings?? I was told that not long ago but thought the person was just BSing me because i thought the only sex link was pilgrams. As for the color possibilities i think ill be keeping some of these crosses.

Yes this mating will produce sex-linked goslings as you're dealing with sex linked genes - Dilution and Pied.

Males will be Dilute Grey Splash (with variation in the amount of splash pattern) and females will be White.
