Since I only have one Embden and he's a gander I can't help you on the eye size, but most ganders stand taller with their heads held high, My gander walks around with his head held so high he rarely watches where he's going and has been known to step into buckets/ on to ducks and basically trip over things. and ganders are larger than geese also. what age are your geese, breeding season is starting up so if old enough you should be noticing changes in behavior, more aggressive protective of his mate. Oh and Loud My gander is very vocal, My Toulouse goose if much quieter which is another trait difference.

I know it's hilarious H how they can recover so quickly like they are thinking I meant to step into that bucket or tromp on the duck. LOLwell he probably did mean to tromp on the duck really.

Yes I can see that, lol! A couple of mine did it to one of the poor little mallards the other day. Brats! He got his own back though, when he got up he ran over and bit one of their 'ankles'. Somedays it's like being a playground monitor I swear!
