sexing geese....

[sandypaws]

i was given a bunch of geese.. rescued them.. (id hate to sound like a moron, but.....)
2 toutlouse (sp?)
5 african
they started to lay eggs.. so i know i have some girls..
i HAVE flipped a goose over and manually inverted,, to sex them.. is there anyway of just LOOKING at them i can tell????
there was some breeding behavior in the pool last night but they all look the same to me....
i guess i am gonna just have to sex them and band them...

ducks are easy.. there voice and curled tail feather... is there any SIMPLE way of telling on a goose/gander???

Posting pictures will help with the africans. Males have larger knobs than the females.

Males have higher pitched voices, and hens lower pitched. At least my Toulouse do.

my gander makes a high siren kind of noise, not really a Honk, it's more of a HWEEEEEEENK.
