how to sex african goslings

[pinkyglory123]

My "weeder geese" which appear to be African hatched 4/25. Any hints about what to look for to help sexing them? Several are later feathering and sporting fluff on back of head and neck while others are smooth. One is humongous. The others pretty standard in size...Females will be mine, males go to someone else.

Its a little early to determine males and females and more reliable if you can find someone to help you with vent sexing. Metzer Farms do have a video showing the technique and principles.

Thanks so much Pete 55 for the info. After watching the video I have put out a call for assistance in my area! I am a nurse but foresee lots of wincing and crying if I try it on my own and I am sure the goslings would not like it either!
