Hi everyone!
Here’s the deal. I reserved a pair of Buff goslings from our feed store. Upon arrival I was gifted a third mystery goose who was apparently injured in shipping-her wing was wet and the store manager saw pink and was afraid.
Fast forward a few weeks and I’m having doubts on if I received any buff geese at all! My geese all have dark blue eyes and yellow down- which appears to be growing whiter by the day. The pin feathers coming in also look white.
Is this normal for buff geese or do we think I have something else?

also say hi to my sweet Pomeranian gosling who snuck in the photos.
 
Thanks goosebaby!! Were thinking so as well.
The mystery is still continuing. We’re still not sure! The geese are 4 weeks and two developing a huge double paunch and one has no paunch.

The other looks like a grey goose, that is what our grey looked like as a baby, but I'm no expert! She was such a darling, we miss her! Or maybe a Chinese goose... What does her bill look like?

A grey would be great!!
I have no experience with Chinese geese, so I’m not sure what the bill would look like at 4 weeks but so far we have 3 smooth bills.
 
Our Chinese babies have black beaks, they grow a bobble on the top of the beak when they are older.
 
Well we have finally settled! The geese are all white Chinese, we’re growing the forehead lump very mildly- I’m thinking I have one male and two female.
thabk you everyone for the input! This has been fun!
