American(Buff, Blue, Lavander,etc.)goose thread! Post pics!

I have a question. I have a trio of Buffs, and 1 blue male. Someone told me I could breed the blue to buff, and I'd get both colors, with out getting smutty coloring. Is this true??? I'd really like more blues.

You could get both colors

Hi Everybody! I just found this thread and I'm so excited to be a part of it and to learn from all of you who have raised geese, for a lot longer than I have, I'm sure. I got my two Buffs from Metzers. They were hatched on May 5, 2014 and I received them on May 7th at the post office at the crack of dawn. They are now almost 4 months old and I just love them to pieces. I had ordered a pre-sexed pair and for a while I (and others here on BYC) had a hard time telling which one was the goose and which one was the gander. I think we've got it down to a science by now, but I'll post some pictures of each and maybe you can tell me what you all think, since you all raise Buffs or have Buffs, you might see something that we didn't notice the first time around. Their names are Gus and Gabi and each one knows his and her name so if we got the sexes mixed up and backwards, it won't affect their names. They'll just forever be Gus the girl and Gabi the boy...lol !!! Thanks and I'm looking forward to talking about our Buffs.

Hi mightymax ;-) ….. My Buff's from Metzer were hatched on April 21!!! I have 2 pairs, pictures of them a couple of posts before yours. We can have a "hatch along" next spring!!!!! Race is on ;-)

Hi there GermanChick...

A 'hatch along', hmm...let me see if I understand 'the race'. Is it just a race to see who's geese lay (or hatch) the first egg or,,,???

Because if that's the case then you're little gaggle of 4 already outnumbers mine 2 to 1, so going in to this thing you will have at least twice as many chances to win compared to me...lol !!!

Now if you're saying 'the race' as in 'time is ticking'..."can't wait 'til spring gets here so I can look at all the pretty eggs that my goose is going to be laying" type of thing, well that's something different entirely...lol !!!

Oh well, it really doesn't matter because...

YOU"RE ON !!!

German chick , you do realize that usually in the first year / first hatching season they usually fail as mothers

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I was so hoping for little goslings next spring. Well, I guess we just have to wait and see. I really want more of them, they are keeping the grass in our newly planted orchard down and we are planning on expanding so we really need more "lawn mowers" ;-)
