So I bought some Embdens back in September they were all 6 months old that’s what they said but I don’t know but one of them has two black/gray spots on it’s back I don’t know the gender of the geese but I was thinking they all were male I looked it up and some people said there girls had this is this just a girl thing or is it boys too
By the way the people I bought them from didn’t know the gender

This is a pic of the spot

At least in chickens, it's not abnormal for an animal to have a weird, 'off' feather. I have at least one white hen (EDT: Leghorn) with a single black shoulder feather. Nothing to do with gender.

As I understand it, the only way to be completely sure with geese is to watch one lay an egg or to vent-sex them. Males apparently are more bold and upright, but as a casual observer at various farmshows and ponds, I could never tell the difference.
