I think it´s a No Contest!

I now have one goose with goslings, two geese still sitting, but with pipping goslings, and one more with goslings due in about 10 days or so. There´s one older mix-breed goose that´s sitting on 2 eggs, others are playing silly whatsits, swapping nests, breaking eggs, generally being daft, but I´m not worried about them. The ones I wanted to breed have bred, and there´s just my pied cross-breed female that has been mating with the pied youngster, but today I saw her with the Pilgrim male, which I don´t want to breed with her. She had paired off nicely with the pied male, but recently he´s been so busy showing off to the other males, he´s neglected the goose! Youth, eh??!!

Very interesting!
Can you tell me how on earth do you get died males! i tried for years and closest i got was a gander with brown wing feathers and brown head and rest white ! ( It was a very deep mix and he was beautiful looking with only brown wing(flight) feathers
Until two years ago when he was sold :/

He´s the result of a pilgrim gander and a white (I believe she´s spot gene, as her sisters are pieds, also her parents both were pieds, but she has no colour, but was yellow as a gosling) mix-breed female.. this is the young gander..he has white flights too. This is why I´d like him to produce youngsters with his aunt, but he´s just too busy looking cool!

It is hard to get male toulouse(pure orange beak and brown in colour) looking mixes
They always end up being female males end up white or white with lavender or lavender

Why does this gander make me think Toulouse?
