A Couple of my Africans

I would take the left male. Do you have full side profile pics of them? That youngster is nice! If he gets more mass as he fully matures he will a pretty good bird!

Wow, Those are actually pretty nice Buff Africans from Efowl! How old are they? Ususally they dont get orange on their knob until they are older. I also raise Africans, Buffs and Browns. Below is one of my 11 month old Ganders. Good Africans are few and far between.

They are almost a year old. Is it bad that they are getting orange on thier bills allready? what one do you think I should get?

The one on the right in pic1 will develop a better dewlap, but the one on the left seems larger... Let me think about it.
And they are not shwo stoppers, but a great start in the breed. Better than most "Africans".

So which one do you think I should get? which would be better a larger bird or a smaller bird that will develop a better dewlap? also what makes you think that the smaller one will develop a better dewlap? could I enter them in a show to see how they do or would they not let me?

sorry for playing 20 questions with every one

I just talked to the lady and she said that the one with the orange bill is at least double the size of the other one but he is a dominant boy and he will hiss at her but does not attack her but the smaller one is more of a shy one and when she walks out their he just walks away

I am really having a hard time on choosing which gander I want. she told me I can bring them home and see what one I like better and keep that one. I am going to try to get some full body pictures of them up this weekend for you guys to see

What should I do?

Ok cool. As of right now id get the bigger 1 hands down no question. It wouldn't really be worth showing them since there is no buff classes at last not that I know of. You want the dewlap to be a cresent moon shape and very smooze with good size

OK I am planing on going to her place and taking a look at them (and her giant dewlap Toulouse geese from holderreds) and I am going to take pictures of them together of their full body's and post them on here
