Sexing goslings

[Hannahnic14]

At what age can you sex goslings? I have a toulouse gosling (Cricket) and a Roman tufted (Jellybean) Both are a month old and Cricket is HUGE! Jellybean seems to be a bit more aggressive, he/she likes to bite any new chickens I introduce.😂 How old do they have to be to be accurately sexed? I don't have any update pics at the moment but can get them tomorrow if needed.

Geese can be vent sexed starting with day one. If you see a penis it is a boy. If you do not see a penis then it is probably a girl. I only say this as if you do not push just right you might not see the penis. I have read about how to vent sex a goose but have never done it myself so am not sure how difficult it might be.

I looked up YouTube videos on how to vent sex goslings. It's actually an easy thing to do, but it's also easy to do wrong, if that makes sense. I watched the video by metzer farms, and it was pretty informative.

Lol, sorry, just realized it didn't answer your question. Goslings can be sexed as young as a day old. That's pretty much the easiest time to do it as well, as they get quite large when they get older, as you know! 😂
One of my goslings has Angel Wing, and I needed to pick her up today to take off her wing wrap and she is humongous.
