What breed are those geese?

[the_finch_family]

Where I live, this is literally the only domestic breed of geese I ever see.
Still not sure what they are though.
Are those pilgrim geese? I only ever see those with much less white on the females, so I'm not sure.

Planning on raising some geese with my next batch of goslings, so I'd want to do some research on the breed.

Are they all females? What is their weight/size? They look like Shetland females.

I think those are all females, but I'm really not sure. Didn't get a chance to talk to the farmer

They're quite large, definitely smaller than a Swan, but much bigger than the grey geese we have here.

Okay, I found more pictures from a local fb group and appearantly those are a male and a female with their babies.
So they don't have white males like pilgrim geese or the shetlands. Now I'm even more stumped
I also found out that we do in fact have another breed of domestic geese here, emden geese. And yes, I'm sure they're not just the males of the other breed.

Emden? Those geese are all white and big. I new a breeder who was breeding mixes with them to get them to be bigger.

I've noticed they're giant. For a little while, I thought those were just the males but no, appearantly it's a different breed.

Try Pomeranian geese. Does that breed match better?

They are Pomeranians. I see Grey and Buff Saddleback in those pictures, but there are other varieties available in Europe, like White in Europe.
