Pekin geese?

[cottontail farm]

I was at the Canfield fair in Ohio today and in the goose section there was a flock on display labeled "Pekin geese". I didn't get a picture (of course). They were big white geese like embdens but with light grey backsides. Not pomeranians. Has anyone heard of these? I'm not finding anything on google now that were home.

Can't say that I've ever heard of that, but I'm still pretty new to the wonderful world of waterfowl.

Never heard of Pekin geese.

Never heard of them. Sounds like somebody backyard experiment.
