Good I was thinking about breeding them down the road. I read somewhere that I should wait until they were 2 years old?Yep The color is pretty good indicator of their sex.
Hi! I know this is years later, but I just happened to find your one photo while searching to find what kind of goose I have. It's supposed to be a Roman Tufted and looks just like the non-white ones in this photo you shared:You will love your tufted romans. I have a trio and two crosses. They are quiet, friendly and are great parents. I didnt raise my Trio they were full grown when i got them and had very little human contact other than being fed and watered, after two weeks i was able to pet them. Now they follow me like dogs when im out. I have 3 other breeds also but the Tufteds are my best as far as brooding and getting along with other geese. My crosses also seemed to inherit the good disposition of their tufted parent. I cant say the tufteds are my favorite, i dont think i could pick a breed for my fav, i love all geese.
My gander and one goose hatched 10 of 15 eggs 14 of which fully developed. 3 goslings were smashed. Then one broke its hip, and another had unforeseen developement defects. Most of the eggs werent theirs. They have raised the last 5 beautifully.
Here is my pair with the goslings
And 4 mos later
And
My other Goose
