What Breed of Goose is this?

[Patriot1672]

I had purchased 3 early season goose eggs in early December from eBay. He said that any of the eggs could be pure bred or a hybrid of the following breeds he had; Brown Chinese, Toulouse, Buff, and Sebastopol. I’m assuming that it’s at least half Brown Chinese, but I’m not too sure as the bill doesn’t look raised at all in the middle like the brown Chinese I have seen images of. I was hoping someone with more knowledge might be able to help. Thanks!

They sure are interesting. I'd guess at least Chinese too because of the bill color and shape. The rest I'm unsure of as well.

I would bet on a Brown Chinese x Toulouse cross. Especially with a cross, it may be a few more months before you see knob development.

My guess is Chinese and Toulouse cross as well by the shape of the head and bill and patterning on the body. Knobs can take a while to develop and do so at different rates.

The only thing that was making me believe otherwise was a video I had watched. It said that Chinese goslings have an upside down vshape where their beaks meet their “forehead” like the one in the image below. The gosling I have still has like a regular “U” shape there.

This is him now. He’s been an excellent guard goose. He’s let me hold him up until my turkey poults, that he watches, have started to strut and gobble more.
