old timey geese..???

[shelleyd2008]

I wouldn't, if the white one is indeed a female then the only bird you have that might be pilgrim is the one on the front left. The one on the back left is a toulouse, the white is either a male pilgrim or an embden of unknown gender. The one on the far right (saddleback) is most likely a pomeranian.

ETA: I'd just sell them as 'mixed goose' eggs since you don't know for sure the breed of any of the birds.

Just because a goose has a saddleback doesn't make it a pomeranian. Even Poms come in different patterns as well as sattlebacks. Sattleback is a pattern not a breed. Also Pilgrims are known to hatch a occasional 'throwback' that isn't the correct color for the gender. Mixed is the fair word for these geese.

I didn't say it was a pom just because it is saddle backed but that is the most common breed with that pattern. If you agree with the 'mixed geese' then why don't you just say so instead of trying to start something?

They are pretty whatever they are. I especially like the saddleback ones colors and marking.

I have a saddleback pom (that's her in my avatar, back when we rescued her), and her feet are pink, not orange, and her bill is a pinkish orange, certainly different than the orange of my chinese geese. I couldn't see feet or bill in that photo.
