Brown Chinese?

[tmaguirre]

I purchased "weeder geese" and understand they may be a mix, b

ut do these look like brown chinese? They had black feet as babies, but they have changed color. They are only 10 weeks old now, so still growing.

Hatchery African which is technically a Brown Chinese x African Cross. Here is one of mine, the girl in the back.

So, my next question is then, do the females also get the knobs? I thought it was only maled... is that wrong?

I don't know much about geese but my understanding is that both male and females get the knobs its just the males get bigger knobs. For the Chinese variety at least, I don't know of other breeds with knobs.

Both male and female Chinese and Africans get knobs on their bills. Males are generally larger and more pronounced.
