When we got our embden geese we were told that the bright yellow babies were male and the ones that were darker were female. This was true for our four. Now that they are grown, the males are significantly larger than the females, legs are thicker boned as well. They also seem to be a little more outgoing. Hope this helps!I appreciate the reply! Very informative. I guess we’ll wait for eggs
They’ve bonded with me and want to keep me all to themselves? I knew I was a Disney princess.. just a violent one, I guess. But in all seriousness, I’ll have my husband be the one to give them their veggie snacks for a while. Hes enormous himself (6’8) so he’s big enough to cuddle them anyway.. I always get beat up by them when I try to catch them.. their wings are just enormous
I have noticed they’ve started hissing a lot. I just thought it was because they aren’t accustomed to me coming outside bundled up in jackets. Maybe they’re just hormonal nutcases.. I can relate with that now and then. Poor ladies.
I read about the differences between males and females and I think I’d need more of a sample size to be able to actually tell anything.. The smaller one is the one acting out of pocket. I read you can sex then by color as babies? She was lighter as a baby where her big sister was a dark baby with a little cape.. I think I have pictures of them as babies, idk if that helps anyone with more experience looking at geese, lemme see.
