When you get tired of watching ChickenTV, you can switch channels and watch GeeseTV. Or you can just eat them, but I get more enjoyment from just watching them do their thing.

They are not pure embdens, but look like crosses. The mostly white looks like my embden/toulouse cross and the dark one looks more like an embden/african cross.

Both are crossbreds. They look young, maybe late last years hatch. My gut says they are both females just from these pics. But I wouldn't swear to it.

They'd make good weed eaters, alarm bells, and egg producers "if female" on a homestead.

They actually look more like Pilgrim geese to me. If so, it's a pair: the white one is a gander and the darker one, a goose. More info on Pilgrims, a heritage breed, at The Livestock Conservancy.

Thank you so much!

Feather pattern and body shape is wrong for Pilgrims. They undoubtedly crossbreds.

Looks like white Chinese cross toulouse. The brown is a male and the whites looks like a female ✌

With their slim build I could see them being Chinese crosses.

I would say a Chinese cross too
