So, I got 10 adorable goslings from Murray McMurray aka the "Fancy Goose Package". I am 99% sure that there are 4 Brown Chinese. Then there are 4 Ginormous tufted ones - 3 of which are yellow with gray and 1 of which is all yellow. Then, there are 2 "medium" sized that have similar coloring to the huge ones (yellow w/ gray), but they are NOT tufted.
Here is the description from Murray McMurray --
"Our choice of a minimum of 3 varieties from the following: Brown Chinese, Pilgrim, Buff, Roman Tufted, Tufted Buff, Super African, and Large Dewlap Toulouse."
To add to the confusion, the shipping sheet that came with them did NOT list Tufted Burr, Super African, or Large Dewlap Toulouse; however, it DID list Tufted Toulouse. I called Murray McMurray to try to clarify what the possibilities were, and the woman had no idea, but thought the website might be out of date. I don't think they are toulouse, because their beaks are light. Originally, I thought the "mediums" were also tufted and were tufted Romans and that the "Huge" were tufted buffs. However, the medium 2 are NOT tufted, so maybe they are Pilgrims and the huge ones are Tufted Buffs. Are Buffs really that huge? I would say the medium ducklings were twice as large as the Brown Chinese and the Huge ones were 3 times as big - at least.
Okay, I cannot figure out how to paste a picture here, but you can see them here -
