No! *lol*
I get told that by lots of people that's how you do it, but they're totally wrong. The 'things' on the undercarriage are called "lobes". A good show goose will have two equally sized lobes. If they're uneven or only have one, then they'll be marked down in competition...
I know how to vent sex, but with a bird this size, it does not sound like a fun venture, so I was hoping for an easier way. I had been told before that to sex a goose, you can just look at the undercarriage. A male has 2, um, lines or folds? (again, hard to explain!) and the female only has...
I have more photos... what would you be looking for to determine sex?
I posted the found goose on Craigslist without any info on identification, and just recieved an email from a person missing a grey and white goose. With any luck my foster will be going home soon!
Well here he/she? is! I am guessing I have a gander here, but if anyone can tell me otherwise, I would appreciate it. No matter what sex, I am calling the goose Elliot.
Acts perfectly fine with the resident ducks and chickens, but NOT fond of the dog. A pretty mellow bird so far.
I stopped at my local Humane Society a couple days ago to check on a dog there. While looking through the animal control area, I discovered a production strain Toulouse goose! The goose had been picked up by animal control a few hours before I came in. Found wandering around down town...
