Sex-link & genetics?

[Blackbird]

I have a couple questions for the geese gurus..

We have maybe 2-3 white Chinese ganders, and one white Embden gander.

All of our females are of the previous mentioned breeds, and all white, except one, who is a Gray.

The Gray female had five eggs. Yesterday two hatched and today a third, so far she has two eggs left to hatch.

This is a picture of the first gosling:

ALL three look exactly the same, right down to the beak coloration.
I was expecting something possibly like a pied coloration, with no specific markings to each bird, but so far that isn't true.
Has anyone had this possible result? If so is it possible that the three so far are female?
Does anyone have any geese of this possible cross breeding, if so, anyone have pictures they could share with me?
I'm interested to see what colors they might be when fully grown..

Any help or advice is welcome!

Sorry can't help ... But had to say I love the pic, gosling looking at you like you are the very sun... Too sweet

From what I know, if the goose is grey and the gander is white, it is very possible that the grey gene will be dominant while the white will be recessive... Which means the grey gene will show itself in physical characteristics. Mind you, I'm not a genetics whiz, I'm just reciting what I learned from breeding other birds. I think you can compare it to a human couple, one who has dark hair and dark eyes, the other with blonde hair and blue eyes. Most of their children will have dark eyes and dark hair, as those tend to be the dominant genes, but some children may have blue eyes, or blonde hair, or both. But from what I've heard, it's less common.

This might have been a lot of nonsense, but hopefully someone more versed in goose genetics will come along.

Aside from that - the gosling is adorable.

Thank you Adrian.

The fourth has hatched, it is a lighter color and has an orangish bill.
Number five was pipping when I checked a couple hours, I expect it to be hatched in the morning; then I will take pictures after I have moved them.
