I do believe the male is in front. He is a little darker and slightly bigger. The hen is a little light in color. The gander flew out of his new pen last night, not happy being separate from the Africans. We put him back in and so far he is staying put today. I'll see how long that lasts. :) I really don't want mixed babies, so he better cooperate!

to guess geese!

I don't blame you for not wanting mixes. I don't either but sometimes they can be persistent. Good luck!

Kathy's birds are beautiful! But here is my sweet little Gerrymander, whom has turned my family into goose lovers.
(with Digory Dog)




(by herself)



I won Gerrymander in a feedstore raffle. The feedstore had ordered 3 American Tufted Buff geese for a client, but, since they weren't tufted the client refused the order and nobody else purchased them. After 4 months or so of feeding the geese, they held a raffle just to get rid of them. My knowledge of geese was non-existent beyond they can be mean and the parks all have some. Such a surprise! The bigger surprise was in learning how personal she is and how she motivates us to get off our duff to walk her down to the creek everyday.
Visitors are amazed by her. I have one friend we do a vehicle check on before she leaves to make sure she hasn't smuggled the goose in it. I'm so hoping she lays an egg soon so we know she is a she. And hopefully we can get her a friend soon. She hangs with the chickens, but, I'm sure she would prefer someone who honks back.
You'll love your american buffs! Do post pictures when you get them!​

Very nice story! Some how I missed it...what a gorgeous goose. I have a Toulouse named Chloey who is like that for me.She is so friendly and cute, I specially prepare her favorite snacks to give to her!
I hope the buff are as gentle...yours seems to be!
Thank you for sharing and I will post pics when I get them!

I wouldn't go there. I got a few decent ones, but I got more that had serious problems, especially leg problems, and they all had to be cullled. Madeline, above, was purchased as a day-old last spring from Metzer Farms. The others were not all as good as she is, but Metzer Farms breeds and hatches their goslings right there.You can't expect miracles. Even winning adults can't be guaranteed to produce show quality offspring.

I will feel so bad if they are sick/dead from the cold! I made a mistake when ordering and didn't fill in the ship date so they just sent me one....well the weather was so warm for a while i figured it'd be ok....then it dropped again!
