I have 3 brown Chinese geese that are supposed to be female. The smallest of them sounds like it might be making a little trumpeting noise. It’s hard to tell if it’s just young goose noise or the beginning of a trumpet. This goose also seems to have a little more pronounced skin under the neck (not sure if that matters). Any ideas on if it’s a boy or how we can check? Or will we just have to wait and see?
 
Do you have any pictures of them?
Just took these. The one in question is in the front. I tried to get a side pic but a duck photo bombed it.

I’m not 100% sure on this or If they are to young to tell yet but in the first picture they look like the one in the front is a goose and the In the back is a gander, again I could be wrong
 
If you post a video of them walking/talking, I may be able to tell, I have a pair so I'm somewhat familiar with how the males/females sound, posture in another good indicator.
