can you tell me what breed by gosling description? sorry, no pics...

[mandapanda3186]

I saw some adorable goslings at tsc and can't remember the breed...

They were black beaked, and they were kind of a mixture of black/grey all over.

I'm not having very good luck googling...

Any ideas? I know pics help a lot but maybe you have an idea and I can look into it and figure it out.

Thanks

Have a look here.

For many goose breeds there are photos of the goslings as well. It may help you to work out what you saw. So many breeds can look very similar when very young though - hope you work it out.

I'd call the TSC where you saw them and ask. If they can't tell you the breed, maybe they can tell you where they got them and that can narrow it down a bit.

They are probably brown chinese or production africans with having black beaks.

My same thoughts.
Tractor Supply only orders African and (usually white) Chinese geese.
I am inclined to say these are probably Africans.

having worked at TSC for 5 years I can tell you that the store I worked at (and I assume all) was at the mercy of whatever the hatchery sent. We usually got very healthy chicks, ducks and geese but had no control over what was sent to us at the store level. I am sure what they received was "assorted goslings" and even if you would call the hatchery they could not tell you more than that. Not trying to derail your train, but that is how it is at least in the Nebraska area stores
