I got a lot of mixed signals with my last thread regarding Angel and her downy, and, when posting her vent I got a few responses but they all said they weren't experienced in the field. Now she's a little bit older and her feathers are either pointing to female.. or hybrid.. What do you all think?

She's got a left and right lobe, white feathers coming in on her belly, silvery grey feathers coming in on her sides and shoulders... but her tail and flight feathers are also coming in a silvery grey with white tips. Her beak is turning orange with a fleshy colored tip, and her legs are turning orange. She does have a 'crown' of darker downy on the top of her head.




Here's the original video I couldn't get experienced input on:

Here's her now:

Thoughts?

Hi Mother Goosey.  Most of us don´t have much success with vent-sexing, hence few responses.  Looking at it feathering in now, I´d say it´s a male.  Does it have a gosling friend?  


Ahhh, ok. I think I'm gonna go ahead and do DNA sexing, it's only $20. I know downy and feather color isn't a sure-fire way, especially if it may be a hybrid. Just put it an order for some blood collection kits, will probably know in a week or two!

She has a duckling friend. Don't think I coulda had two huge geese in the house.
