Sterile baby geese?

[HollyORiley]

Is it true when a Canada goose and a Toulouse goose breed the babies will be sterile?

I have a female Canada goose and I was wanting to get a male Toulouse or American Buff, but I have heard that the babies can be sterile.

"Can be sterile" doesn't sound like "will all be sterile" so unless they carry a nasty lethal gene you don't want to pass on and battle for generations to come, if I were you I would probably go ahead and cross them, and see what results. I don't know much about geese, only kept them for about a year and a bit. Best wishes with your experiment.
