Breed identification

[FoodFreedomNow]

Agree with @Goosebaby that the bill color doesn't look abnormal - to me, it looks like it may have started darker and is becoming lighter, probably heading toward an orange shade. I raise Pilgrims and the females of this breed typically hatch with bills that are very dark, with a lighter tip that's pinkish. The bill gradually lightens in color as the gosling grows, and will become orange-y when mature.

Does your gosling have lobes on its abdomen? If so, how many?

 

[GMoose]

Kind of? Not big lobes though

 

[GMoose]

I would love to know its age

 

[Goosebaby]

I would love to know its age

Six or seven weeks.

 

[GMoose]

I’ve never had experience with young geese. when will it get to full size?

 

[Goosebaby]

A year to two years

 

[Goosebaby]

They’ll look like an adult in just a few more weeks. They’ll begin to lay probably this winter if it’s a female, but a year and a half to two years is when they’re fully filled out.

 

[GMoose]

So if it’s smaller than my female pilgrim right now, it probably won’t get to big is what it sounds like

 

[GMoose]

Aw
