cotton patch geese

[livininbrazil]

These are her two surviving goslings, I think male, I´ve taken more photos of them today, they´re about 5/6 months old now, and as you´ll see, are very curious.....were puzzled as to why I had a black (camera) thing in my hand instead of the white thing that carries the goodies!! I´ll post the photos later.

Here you go, Selina, I managed to get a better pic of his head today. Whatever he is, he´s beautiful.

Reminds me of my Embden gander. does he have blue eyes?

And here´s another of him with his family....his two wives and 3 sons, I believe, and a young lass there in the background who seems to have her eye on one of the lads.......they´re trying to work out why my camera isn´t coughing up food!

Hi Miss Lydia, yes he does have very blue eyes, just like an Embden, but he´s so much smaller and very sweet. All my geese have blue eyes except the two grey females.

They are. People who pass along our lane slow down to look at them. Most folks around here are used to seeing the Chinese-type geese which make so much more noise and are far more aggressive. Sorry Chinese lovers, but around here that´s the case. Many people here won´t go into a place with geese because of their reputation, they´re catching on as guards, (one prison uses them, I believe.) but mine are just so docile and love to come for a chat even with visitors. (Not that I tell strangers that!) I did get a couple of large ganders, not a breed I could track down on the internet, here they call them ´ciso´, also sex-linked, but they were more inclined to squabble and weren´t so calm, so I didn´t keep them. I´m quite happy with these that I have now.

Wish I could see them in person. I love geese and all these different breeds fascinate me. Of course I don't see a trip to Brazil any time soon so I'll have to admire from afar.

I am kind of thinking you do not have pure CPG they should have pink feet and beaks. We have a pair here in WI.






This is a pair of cotton patch geese. Your females look like they could be CP but the ganders have a odd body shape. I think you have a mixed group. Also CP should have pink feet and beaks no orange!

They are very pretty though!
