GOOSE BREEDING THREAD - for breeding, incubating, hatching and rearing.

No your correct Assyra is smaller than Damascus overall width Damascus is bigger and heavier Assyra is skinny and tall so I'm really hoping Assyra is a girl and Damascus a boy when they arrived at the post office in their little box Damascus was bigger/heavier and always has been but Assyra has always been taller and skinnier


Lol ok :D
 
Based on nob size and overall body size I would guess female as well. She seems a little small in the picture but the angle above her may have something to do with that.

As for nothe...well there is a Nothe fort in Dorset that has a ghost called the Nothe Ghost so maybe Max is a ghost?????

And yes, poult, we are just playing around. Acting silly, my excuse is that the sun finally came out and I am sun crazy.

I think you maybe right about Max he/she does disappear from time to time.

[and he is just plain crazy, has nothing to do with the sun]

Well you certainly came to the right place. Miss Lydia has my number...just bonkers most of the time...but in a fun sort of way.

Assyra has the smaller knob and your male has a larger knob? That is one way to determine gender with your breed. Also, their way of moving about. The male will usually stand tall while the female will keep a lower profile. Pretty sure you have a male female pair. Do you plan on breeding them?

I have a Toulouse trio (male and two females) that I am hoping will breed and produce goslings this spring.

And, Miss Lydia...I saw the fine print.

Yes Damascus(which sounds like the male) has a larger knob then Assyra(the supposed girl)but see now I'm stumped once again Damascus is always lowered and hides behind Assyra and Assyra is always first to bite and protect I guess we will just have to wait till spring when they start laying eggs or mating and yes I want to breed them I've always loved the way geese are so protective of their young and love to brood which if mine even slightly decide their interested in doing so I will so allow it that's why I want a pair so I can breed them and even if they don't brood I have an incubator :D well actually it can't hatch geese but I can make my own homemade incubator :) and I hope your planned breeding goes as thought!

Now that sounds like gander behavior, waiting is what quite a few of us are doing right now I have one I'm still waiting to show if goose or gander. although I am starting to suspect gander. Which will be okay as long as the adult gander and the other 2 girls keep on accepting him into their family, I told Amanda on another thread that if things go down hill Babe may have to move to Texas and marry jtn's Pauline
 
I'm so confused with the two of them but I'm hoping it will just work out to be a pair I'm very new to geese I've only been raising them for nine months and before I know it Spring will be showing its true colors ;) and then I shall know what's been going on and what I've been making such a fuss about lol sorry if I'm confusing sometimes I've read a lot of books and stories and sometimes what I'm saying turns out to be a part of literature more of then what I meant

That would be just fine. However, since the bride's family pays for the wedding it will need to be something simple. I am on a fixed income afterall. Something in the spring, in the garden. CCBird (a splash Andalusian) can be Maid of Honor, Sting can give the bride away, 14 Cayuga bridesmaid, Norman (the lone crippled rooster) says he can serve as Best Man if Babe hasn't already chosen someone else. The Coleman Chronicle Democrat-Voice will want to cover it since it will be the event of the season.
