They were marked from the hatchery with legbands. She basically stays with Ronald, a big Buff. But nothing is guaranteed, right? I will have to watch them more. I know Ronald and the other male do stand tall most of the time.

Anything's possible, right? Is there any way to tell? Would pictures help?

I believe Sophie is an Abraham and Elliot is an Ellymae. DH saw them get romantic. Abraham is also doing a little hiss now, LOL. But he's still sweet.

Are the ganders known to be more outgoing? Friendly?

I think it also depends on the breed. My Buff Toots[female]is my friendliest My gander will come up to me but it's usually to let me know I am to close to his girls.

Well at least you still have a pair which is really cool.

I think that the bands came off and hubby determined which was which in the beginning. The older pair have already learned how to be at the feeder when no one else is there, LOL.

They all still like to chew on me, LOL
