Got my gesseeee!! i have some questions?

[The goose girl]

Omigod they're cute! I'm sooo jealous! I wish I could have mini geese, but I guess they don't ship them to Europe. Probably because geese are little terrorists...

I have no idea which is gander and which is goose, but once they get adjusted you should be able to tell by their behaviour.

I think the one in the bottom picture is complaining to you about the travel accomodations!

Them are definitely not Pilgrim colored Mini Oregon Geese..... Belted colors can be sex linked and didnt they tell you what color they were when you bought them??

From http://www.holderreadfarm.com/Fall_2010_adult_sales_list/Fall_2010_adult_sales_list_page.htm
"We have been studying and raising small, domestic geese during the past decade. These geese are heavily muscled, excellent foragers, fine natural parents and have been extra tame. We have them in a variety of colors including white, gray, splashed, saddleback and belted. Most of what we have available this year are auto-sexing with males that are predominantly white and females that are gray and white splash or gray with a white belt around their underbody. Pairs available. $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250 & $300 per bird."

Most of what they have available is auto sexed, but not all of their minis are auto sexed.

Yes they are Oregon Mini Geese sorry if I confused you

 

[jackrooster]

So the one with the most white on it is a male??

 

[banter]

I have a trio of auto sexed mini geese. The females are gray and white and the male is a white splash. Why don't you call or email Holderreads? They are very responsive.
I would think if you asked for a pair that would be what they sent.

How pretty!

Very nice geese! I think you have a pair with the male being the darker one, but I'm mostly guessing. Feel free to contact Holderreads to make sure.
