My free goose

Drakes(male ducks) have curly tail feathers, ganders(male geese) do not. I sexed mine by how their bellies hang down. Females hang lower in the shape of a "U" males hang in a "W".

Your new goose is beautiful! I rescued a goose this summer and went back and forth trying to decide if it was male or female. It was driving me crazy so I finally sent some feathers off for the DNA testing.......well my princess is a boy

Great advice from Oregon Blues. Certainly looks like an American Buff.

The only way to accurately sex a knob-less goose short of watching it lay an egg is to vent sex. It's a very simple procedure. If you search this forum you'll find many how-to posts.
