That "African" is 15 weeks old. No knob and about the same size as my 21 week old white Chinese geese, no dewlap though.

Don't you worry! unlike chinese pure African goslings knob grow very slowly and the Dewelp even slower!
It may take 14 months for a dewelp to start appearing
I happen to like Metzers very much. Not sure if they are intentionally sneaky, but we do refer to Africans from metzers (and other similar places) as "hatchery Africans". In fact, even Metzers distinguishes their stock as Africans and "super Africans", which means to me that the super Africans are pure and the others are mixed with Chinese.
Starfire the saggy fat at their legs indicates they do have african in them since pure chinese don't have that but the female has it when broody mostly.
AfricanXchinese are really common probely more common then the actual African breed and they can develp a dewelp with that cross alright but mostly don't but their children may get dewelps which sounds odd but that's how nature works![]()
