They told us they were all sexed female Golden Comets…
As chicks the two looked extremely similar, but one was always larger and became significantly larger in short...

My White Chinese geese are 9 1/2 weeks old. I really hope at least one is female. I notice that one of them stands tall, has a higher pitched voice, has a smaller vent, tends to be noisy and has a larger developed knob (the one eating grass in the picture). While the other likes to stand more...
