I have an adult African that loves submarining. She dives, and then swims about 10 feet across, underwater. She loves it.

If they don't have the dewlap, they are probably crossed somewhere down the line with a chinese for productivity.

I used it on my chickens. You should inquire at your local feed store and see what's best. I've never had any health problems with my geese, so I can't even guess at what would be safe for them. Edit - Just went and checked. Both the Oxy, and the normal Tetracycline are both labelled for...

I have Oxytetracycline that was designed for chickens. I got it at my local feed store. Just mix into the water. There were others on the shelf as well. I would certainly get her on something fast.

I built a 3 foot X 4 foot replica barn with a 3X3 awning for ours. They only go in it to nest. Other than that they prefer to be outside snuggled down under a tree, or just on the snow.

Some males will sit on a nest as well. The previous owner of my Africans informed me the male hatched out 7 muscovie ducks one year.

Quote: Ok, cool. Did you get yours directly from Holderread? The parents were direct from Holderreads.

Mine are Holderread stock.

Couple pics of my pair.

Bad things happen at night. I bring mine in.

Here's a link to some info on the Gray which amazingly enough, alot of people don't know about. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Geese/GrayGeeseRussellJune04.html

Here's a couple

The Gander in my avatar pic is a Gray. The only one I have unfortunately.

The Grey was originally the predominant goose in the US and Canada until the 60's. They just aren't recognized by the APA.

Africans make great sentries. They like to chitter chatter alot, but when something alarms them its LOUD. I have 3 Embdens, 2 Africans and a Grey and I really love the look of the Africans. You really need at least two. A solo goose is a lonely goose. They much prefer to be in a flock. My...

I've been curious about this myself. My dad always had geese when I was growing up, but they were always cut short by coyotes. Everything I've read has said 20-22 years, except for the larger breeds, which their lifespan is shorter.

Mine are pretty quiet until they get alarmed. then its LOUD.

Quote: lol, agreed. I'm sticking to my original guess now, knowing the weight. And yep, still just a guess. Give it another month and you should have a good idea how many boys and how many girls you have!

perhaps you could take a few more pictures. That goose head on the left kind of looks like it has a bit of a knob, but very hard to tell. Any idea on weight or size?

Im definitely no expert, but with no information on age I'm going to say White African/Embden cross. They appear to have the size and body type of the African minus the dewlap. From the neck down they just have that African body type. If they are as large as they appear to be, that would be my...
