Dumped Geese

[3xhhheather]

Before I go trying to wrangle a bunch of geese at the local marina that showed up this morning, these are domestic right? The shape of the head and how there isn’t a real paunch in the lobe area gives me pause that *maybe* they could be some kind of greylag hybrid that’s passing through, but I doubt it.

Those are domestic geese.

Those geese are in great condition.

domestic Chinese type hybrids with domestic greylags. The one looks like a pilgrim maybe.

Agree that they are domestic, and likely chinese/toulouse crosses. Good luck catching them!

I hope you can get them and take them home it is so heartbreaking to see these precious birds dumped like garbage. Food is a good motivator when trying to win over waterfowl.

Just a lil update, when I went to grab them they were gone. Someone posted in my towns FB group that one of the local farmers was letting their geese out on the lake, so I’m hoping they were the ones that came and got them. Will be keeping an eye out!
