Can anyone help me with a question, I have two embden geese they are two years old. I got them last May, and I had no more than a dozen eggs, and never two in one day..Ive seen them treading, they look the same size and have the same colour bill/beak...can anyone tell if one is a male?
I don't know anything about geese. But you can post this question in the geese section here of BYC for some info. Always helps to include a pic too. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/47/geese Good luck with your babies and enjoy BYC!
Alright great to have you joining the flock The only way I can tell is to catch them laying an egg, now this close on is a female but I thought she was a male for several years but after pinning them up one each to a cage and watching which one produce an egg was I able to tell then put a band on the leg ........ In size she was larger then what turned out to be the male ............ gander007
Looks like two females to me! Although that breed of goose is hard to tell. The males usually have a little larger thicker head. Welcome to BYC from Riverside California.
Im hoping that the egg laying this year will be a bit more regular,and I will get two eggs in one day,to be certain. I think their laying was disrupted as I recieved them in the middle of laying season.
They usually lay pretty good! I do not raise geese anymore but I have at different times in my life and really liked them. Eggs are delicious also!
