Sexing geese at 3-4 months

[belindah4007]

We have welcomed 2 new geese to our flick this year and have reared them from goslings. They run with our two Sebastopols Lily and Charlie. The first is Uno who is a brown Chinese. He/she is 3 months old. Any thoughts on gender? Hoping the little lobe on the front belly means female. Same for Olive a smooth Seb, 4 months old with two large lobes.

I'm thinking the Chinese may be male and the Seb female. Not very good at sexing geese though...the personality seems to be more telling a lot of times.

Thanks heaps, I know I should wait see but just super keen to know, they are super quiet and very friendly and hope to not have too many boys with big egos at breeding time

Beautiful geese better pics may help, and @Gray Farms is pretty good at guessing also @servpolice looks like maybe an just a guess mind you the little African might be a gander. He needs more grub too looks a little thin.

3-4 months is a tough age to sex geese accurately. They haven't quite gotten their adult voices yet so vocal sexing will also be hard. Post new pics at around 6 months.

Someone posted once about gander having longer legs ever heard that one @Gray Farms

@Miss Lydia, I have not heard of that one. I've heard "males have bigger feet" before, but I've never paid enough attention to confirm it though. That's another reason I love my White Sebastopols. As soon as they hatch I can sex them by color/pattern.

Nice geese ! Pics of the geese with the whole body would give us a better guess of what sex they could be.

I can't really see Olive so I can't say but Uno to me looks 40% chance of being female and a high 60% chance of being male.
