Newbies!

Just got these two today. A big ole' Emden gander and a rather attractive looking mixed breed goose. Also got two ISA pullets. All healthy and pretty birds. Traded for two pairs of turkeys. I was very pleased to see who I was trading with: a young boy and his dad. Always warms me inside to see young people engaged in this very rewarding hobby and on top of that, one that takes pride in his bird's appearance and health.

Thanks! We've still got some social work to do between me and them, but they seem curious and personable enough to make good progress. 

Just spend a lot of time with them, sit out there in the chair or on the ground, they'll get used to you very quickly!

From the picture where Reba is giving you the stare I can say that the mixed looks to be a EmbdenXToulouse

They make a pretty cross I think.

I agree and usually the females are either brown or white and grey and the ganders white and grey or lavender with white feather patches which are beautiful creatures.

People come and visit and ask if I sell my Africans or goslings but I'm not selling them till I have atleast 10-15 breeding pairs.
As you know in Ireland Africans are indeed rare so buff Africans can cost a fortune.
So people with pure breed Africans should breed them to make them more common
They are a wonderful breed

How old are your Buffs serv? How many goslings did they hatch last year? I also forgot to say I remember Sloppy Joe too. who could forget a gosling with a name like that

Sorry LRH97 for highjacking this thread you made :,)

Hopefully @LRH97 will enjoy reading and add a comment or 2 or 3. lol

Woops thought Loretta was the female African.
Your female is white with grey feathers so the goslings could be any colour
Usually with pure embdens the males are very light and the females are darker.
With crosses both can be the same colour.
Usually the males have a purple colour beak but we'll see after they're born!
