L'oie d'Alsace (Alsatian goose) ​

Its origin lies in the small valleys of lower Alsace. Zorn, Bruche, Sauer, Moder, as well as in the Ried plain. It is a small goose, mainly produced with a view to getting the largest possible goose liver after force-feeding.

Breeders have to look for and select animals which are short on their legs, with a body as wide as possible, thus allowing for a good development of internal organs, in particular that of the liver. Eggs for brooding weigh around 120 g . Male and female have the same weight : 4 to 4.5 kg. The Alsace goose was created to produce very fatty livers after force-feeding.

L'oie blanche du Bourbonnais (White Bourbonnais goose)


​

As the name indicates, its origins lie in the Bourbonnais, which is in the department of l'Allier, with Moulins in its center. It is a goose of good size, as the gander weighs 9 to 10 kg and the goose 7 to 8 kg. It is hardy, matures early and is rather prolific, active, massive, stocky but with no heaviness, it has a slight paunch. A good egg producer, the goose will brood well if one leaves her the eggs. These have a white shell and weigh 160 g . This breed is intended for the production of good sized subjects for roasting, but it can be successfully used for fatting purposes. Only one variety is recognized : the white with red-orangy bill going sometimes to rosy orange.

L'oie de Bresse (Bresse goose) - oie de l'Ain



​

The Bresse goose has never had any recorded standard - nor even a precise description. Issue number 15 of the magazine La Vie à la Campagne (Life in the Country) states : "The Bressan Goose does not exhibit clearly defined characteristics equalling for example that of the Goose of the Poitou (region) or of the Bourbonnais. Barring a few exceptions, flocks do not give a feeling of attaining suitable homogeneity standards. This goose gives us the impression of being of average size, rather small, a lighter and jauntier model than the Bourbonnais Goose."
