Hello, I am a "New Egg" in this forum and admittedly slightly cracked and no where near as fresh as I used to be. I do have a question: What (if any) is the difference between "Giant" Embdens and "regular" Embdens? I have been told that they are one and the same and that yes there is a difference. So I still don't know. I saw a couple of Embdens last year at a poultry show in Inverness, Florida that were about 4' tall and the most beautiful white geese I've ever seen. Wish I'd made contact with the exhibitor. Now, by asking my question, you all know that I know very little about geese and you would be most correct. Now Red Golden pheasants, Mandarin ducks and ringneck doves I do know a little bit about, but not geese and especially nothing about Embdens. Somebody please enlighten me by telling me if there is a difference and how to go about finding the giant or larger Embden goose breeder if indeed there is such a thing. I posed this question on another thread (the wrong one) and somebody did answer and their answer was removed, so I am back to square one. I am interested in purchasing half a dozen or so fertile eggs and if there be a difference, I want the larger breed of Emdens. OK, hope I wasn't too long winded.... please feel free to email or pm me if you wish.
