If Sammy is too old to get the job done, weren't you planning to get a few eggs from Chicory & Beignet next spring?

Hopefully J, but need a lot of help on how when and if.

That´s not 100% sure though, as last year I had 3 obvious males....until they grew and I realised one was a female....sometimes the females have 2 dilute genes!  

i know there are always odd ones but you can see it in the goslings faces also and their eyes

They look awsome and the really yellow one is a male and the one in the back is a female and the left one also looks like a male cant see face properly and those marks one the beak will either go away or stay on there for atleast six months

Or for the rest of their life

Well, just to let you know, when I first got them, I thought I had one male and two females. I took this photo 2 and half years ago. The marks on their bills stayed for maybe a month at the most. I now have two of their goslings. The one on the left is right now sitting on her eggs, the one at the back is sitting on imaginary eggs after hers all failed to hatch due to sharing a nest with her sister, who was the yellow gosling. She has now started laying again in a different spot. All females. All 3 have blue eyes.
In my common/pilgrim-type goslings, though, the darker females do appear to have prettier and bigger eyes, but I don´t know if that´s just because of the colour, being brown, of course.

Oh, actually, the one at the back and the yellow one are in my avatar.

if The white gosling is a female its a cross but i cant see your avatar pic properly of the white goose so i cant say the cross and the others two look like a male pomi. and a female embden

 

[psue]

I have an Embden gander and a Toulouse goose if they have goslings what are the chances of being able to tell boy/girl by color? or will they most likely just be a smattering of colors of each parent? as you can tell I haven't looked into coloring at all in geese since I never intended to have goslings by this pair.

I had the reverse cross. Embden goose, Toulouse gander and got ....

toulouse colored girls and the boys all looked like Halloween.

They are three sisters. Same parents.
