The African and Chinese goose thread!!

Eggbert has a sibling. Mom is still sitting on her nest so there might be another. Dad took his babies out for a tour of the shed today while mom stayed on the nest.

These are my 2 Chinese geese.. They are 13 weeks old.. How old until they get the knob on there head? Can anyone make a guess on there sex? There necks are a bit longer when they are not at rest, but they are not as long and swan ish as ive seen.. Could that be because they are young?

Thanks.

My white chinese born in April have knobs already. Females develop knobs later than the males and have shorter necks. The girls also have deeper voices than the maleswhich have a high pitched honk.

What a sweet pic and what a sweet dad to take care of babies so mom can sit.

If Buster is the loudest then you may have 1 gander to the females. the ganders are the loudest. High pitched, walk around very erect with head held high.
