She knows geese...

Chinese ganders have a larger Knob than the female have longer necks too. And being yours is aggressive sure sounds like a gander. Post some pics please.

Agree with Miss Lydia. If your looking at fully mature Chinese geese the boys are obvious. Much larger knobs, longer necks, and they are usually slightly larger than the girls.

Is that a yak in your avatar?

Nope, that's my Scottish Highland Bull.

He's a handsome chap. I thought they were red coated ?

Highlanders come in Black, Red, Brindle, White, Blonde, Silver, and Dunn.

I did not know that. I love the breed they look ancient.
