Goose or Gander and can you tell what breed this is?

Mine are almost 3 months old now and I still have no clue if they are male or female. They make every step I do as if I was their momma

Woo Woo just turned 5 months. I have had a good feeling the last couple weeks that she was really a she. Her voice never got high pitched, it has stayed pretty low. My ducks have been very active mating and she liked to jump in between them. She and my female duck "Missy" have been climbing on top of each other a lot lately. So when Woo Woo would be on the bottom she would flatten herself out like my female duck. Missy, mostly just walks all over Woo Woo's back.

Having two, do you see any height difference between them? Does one look bigger than the other at all?

I get so much joy from all my birds. Wish I would have started this years ago.

One is slightly taller than the other but that is about the only difference so far. One is honking a little but its low pitched. I know NOTHING about geese. These are our first.

I am right there with you. This is my first also. From what I have read about and been told. The male will have more of a high pitched voice than the female. Females are also smaller. The male will have a smooth tight under belly and the females have a drop to them, the belly will have a sag. Mine has only a drop on her right side so far. But I have heard that may take a while to fully develope.

I've got a lot to learn but I've definitely enjoyed having them on our farm. I may even try to hatch some eggs (if I have a female!) and expand our flock.

I am going to try to hatch some blue Swedish ducks this coming spring. Not only did I get my first goose egg today I also was blessed with my first duck egg as well. This morning was very exciting.

Agreed, African Chinese mix. Female is my guess.

What makes you say she is a mix?

 

[K.Riggs]

Well she doesn't quite look like either. Could be either of those mixed with something else.

She is very pretty.
