Is this a gander or a gooseđź’ˇ

I'm not familiar with many breeds other than Chinese, and the other geese with Swan Goose influence, and the American Buffs that I'm breeding now. My male American Buff has a much richer, deeper, dark orange bill and feet/legs than the female. He's also bulkier and much louder, friendly/aggressive as the mood suits, and generally just more outgoing. Without knowing the breed history (I'd guess for sure Tufted Roman is in there somewhere) it's harder to guess as well. I was leaning towards hen, but without another goose/sibling to compare it to I can't be sure. If you're comfortable sexing the goose, there are ways of accomplishing that, of which I am neither a master or novice. Someone else would have to direct you on a how-to.
 
Oh!! It didn't go on my way. All along i thought it was a goose. But then. I'll have to find a goose for him since breeding season is around the corner.

💜💜✨Thank you guys for your wonderful help. At least, now i know the missing puzzle.
 
So 9 months old if we’re wrong then this goose should start laying my female was right at 9 months when she began laying. Maybe give this one another month before starting your search. Another thing to watch for is when my female got to breeding age she would do the cutest thing she’d be standing still an gather things around her like she was gathering nesting material. I just hate for you to get a female and then this be one, but 2 females would be fine to 1gander.
 
Theseveggs were hatched by a hen. The reason i thought it was a goose. Whenever its foster mother hatched chicks, it bonds with its mother and walk alongside with her chicks. In past weeks the was a battle near the opnd, a steppe eagle tried to snatch the chicks but the goose fought for chicks while the hen ran away. So i thought females geese help to raise goslings of other females.
