guck or is it a doose?

[chickensducks&agoose]

I have a man goose, a chinese, and I have 4 ducks (ladies)... they are about the same size except mr. goose's legs are longer... what are the chances of getting a guck, or a doose? horses and donkeys can do it, what about the Liger? why not my birds?

Isn't that some crazy meal where they stuff a hen in a duck, then stuff the duck in a turkey and deep fry it? lol.... A guy must have thought of it... lol...

I have to agree, they are 2 totally different species of fowl, and it just doesn't work that way. Would be cool, but just not possible.
There are many species of ducks that can not successfully cross with other ducks too, much less a goose.
(mandarin and wood duck for example) They are very close in appearance, especially the hens, but it is genetically impossible for them to cross.

Turkens are Transyvania naked neck chickens developed in Europe in the 1800's for easier plucking for the table as they have a fraction of the feathers of other chicken breeds.​
