Guess the breed! 3 new goslings

[Kerath]

We got three goslings from the feed store a couple weeks ago and (of course) they could give us almost no information about their breed. I know this store orders from Ideal Poultry, so that limits it a bit. Any suggestions would be SO appreciated.

Gosling #1


Since she is all yellow and has a sort of dip at the top of her beak, we are almost certain this one is a white chinese.

Gosling #2


Her beak and feet are pink. Has a very light saddle.

Gosling #3


Beak is dark, but not solid brown. Feet are purple. Is much darker than #2.

Here is a pic of all three from above handing out with our young pekins so you can see the difference in color:



I have to say I LOVE these little gals (no idea on sex yet, just hopeful for girls). I've had ducks for years, but these goslings are SO much smarter and sweeter. They come when I call then and follow me around the yard. #1 loves to crawl up in my lap and sleep. So sweet.

Thanks again for any breed suggestions!

Kerath's fiance here. Just wanted to add that #3 is kind of chompy. Pretty sure she would've swallowed my finger whole if it wasn't attached to my hand!

They are really cool, though. A lot of personality, even at such a young age. And I love that they do that "goose pose" (body tilted down, neck out and parallel with ground) already.

1. White Chinese

2. Embden?

3. Can't really tell

i kinda thought #2 looks like a saddleback pomeranian.

I think #2 is a female Embden. Saddlebacks typically have black marks on their bills and/or feet. For comparison, here is Henri, my (female) grey saddleback sebastopol as a youngster.

Could number 3 be a BROWN chinese? Very random pattern but I can't see the beak to tell for sure.

Here is another pic. You may be able to get a better look at #3's beak here....



They were TOTALLY filthy when we brought them home from the feed store so their first stop was a warm bath in the sink!
