Goose Help Please-Toulouse or Pilgrim

[Duckman 17]

I rescued these two from a local pond owner who wanted them gone fast.
They are friendly, but I am not sure which breed they are or their sex.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

They look to have a slight knob so I think they are mixes. My guess would be African and pilgrim, but it's just a guess.

I’ll second mixed breeds. Definitely Asian species due to knob.

I raise Pilgrims and agree that they look like mixes.

Great thanks to those who replied and helped me to ID my new geese. Now we are trying to sex them. Planning to try to vent sex them and I have never tried this on an adult bird.

Any tips? It looks easy on video, but I am sure that is not the case.

Congrats on the new geese
I don’t own any so I’m not much help on breeds or sexes
But here is hoping with one having a dark end of beak and one with a lighter that you have one of each sex

That’s scary business to vent sex an adult goose can hurt the geese I have pilgrim geese I would not try that unless you have someone who knows what they are doing … you can tell sex by behavior and if they lay eggs or not

I'd agree 100% with this. Just by your picture I'd guess they are two females.

Gosh, they are so cute! Most likely they are african toulouse crosses. Hard to say on gender, but they appear female. Kudos to you for taking them!
