Another Sebastopol gosling sexing question

[lovesgliders]

Hi all,

I have been staring and comparing with this thread all night: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/645217/thoughts-on-the-sex-of-these-sebbie-goslings

It is very helpful but I am just not sure what I am seeing when it comes to my two new Seb goslings (that I ordered SR). So an experienced opinion is much appreciated!



As you can see, one is darker than the other but not by much. It is a solid color without any defined markings. Also, its bill is darker! (does that mean anything?)

female to the top, male to the bottom

bill shading means nothing for gender

BUT ONLY IF THEY CAME FROM 100% ALL WHITE PARENTS.

If there is any color in any of the parents background color sexing is out and you wont know without vent sexing, DNA sexing (when feathers grow in) or waiting for an egg next year.

Thank you! I was thinking I had two ganders. I am 99.9% sure they came from white parents (Metzer).
