Ermer, I know you´re on another thread somewhere, so you may have already solved this...but, if you order a couple of pilgrim, or white sebastopol, or embden female goslings you should be ok, as these breeds are relatively easy to tell male and female, as the tiny males are lighter in colour to the females. I think that getting 2 babies could be good for the babies. Just my 2 centavos-worth.
Ideally geese like to be in a pair. But they´re fine in trios of one gander and two females. The least favourite female will just get left out a bit. With pilgrims, which is what I know about, the favourite female is really laid back and doesn´t make the other one suffer, other than that she took the least favourite´s goslings! Then the poor least favourite goose just had to wander around with the family group and get her goslings back when she could! this year she´ll have her own guy, but I don´t actually NEED to get her her own. They´d be fine in a trio.
Nelson´s a good name. Nelson does look a bit like a female, have to say, but then 'heshe' becomes Nellie, so no probs. I had a cat once called Nelson (he had both eyes), but he was so sweet we all called him Nellie anyway!!That's really comforting. In that case, if I don't find a home I approve of letting her go to with other geese then it looks like my Nelson is getting some sisters
