Gender of my goose: goose or gander

[CrazyCochin]

We have a goose and I would like to know if anybody can identify the breed and gender? Her name is Gussie.

Long neck makes me think gander. Very handsome! How old is Gussie. And are you thinking of getting him a mate ?

 

[CrazyCochin]

He is a pet and he is three months old. Do you have any experience keeping a goose with ducks because we have runner ducks as well. P.S. Thank you for the reply

Very pretty bird. I'm also leaning towards gander. What does his voice sound like? Males will make higher pitched, louder calls than females. I wouldn't recommend keeping him with your ducks because he may attempt to breed your hens and potentially injure them.

I have my geese with my ducks and before I brought my gander home a female goose yes he did mate with my Muscovy's. I don’t think I’d want a gander mating with my Runners though. Honestly Gussie will be much happier with a female goose.

I'd guess a male as well. He is a mix breed. I'd say he has a lot of Pomeranian in him but not pure as his pattern is a little off.

I'll guess male too.He looks like a "Buff Back"

He turned out to be a gander!
And a nasty one he is, but he is a great alarm system, when he hears someone drive up the gravel driveway, he goes off!

Have any pictures of the handsome guy?

He looks gorgeous in those pics from last year! Dont know if he still has it, but I love that pretty pink beak.
