Exotic geese

[GMoose]

Hey everyone! are there any exotic/rare domestic goose breeds?

The pilgrim goose is a rare and critically endangered species according to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy (ALBC) and was officially entered into the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection in 1939. Generally, they can live for 15 to 25 years.

What are kholmogory? I've never heard of them.

I researched them a bit, does anyone own them and/or sell them? Are they smaller/larger than super africans?

I'm looking for the largest possible gander I can get my hands on

I haven’t heard of any breeders of them in the u.s where I am. They’re a beautiful breed.

As for how big they are, I can’t say. It’s hard finding info on them.

Thanks, am I correct that the super African would be the best bet if I'm going for the largest?

I've always wanted either some Cotton Patch geese or those miniature geese Dave Holderread used to sell.
