I have no clue, but they’re very pretty.

They are Embdens. Most likely, they were dumped there by a previous owner as they are a domestic breed.

X2 very sad to see them at a lake, they maybe able to fly into the lake to get away from a predator but I doubt seriously they could fly like the Canada’s.Just going by my own Embdens. Sure wish people who do the dumping would be caught. These geese don’t stand a big chanc of survival.

So they really aren’t capable of flying? Just into the lake? I’ve never seen these white geese fly before, only from the side of the lake into the lake. Also, this white goose that’s on a nest which was her first day on it yesterday, today when I went she wasn’t even on her nest her and her mate just stood near it but she had it covered. Can they leave the nest for that period of time? I’m not sure how embdens nest.

They can leave usually long enough to eat poop and bathe they bath. Did she ever come back? My Embden gander is almost 12 yrs old and he has never taken flight. They will start at the end of the driveway and get a running start flapping but just barely off the ground.

Well I was there for almost an hour and she wasn’t on her nest the whole time I was there so I have to check back. I just didn’t know if it was ok for them to get off the nest for that long. Do u know how long they have to sit on the nest for?
That’s cool u have one as a pet, do u just have the one gander?

I have a gander and a Toulouse goose.
I doubt she'd be off the nest that long if there are eggs in it. Longest my females leave for is usually 15-30 minutes. Yes please check back , her poor mate will wait quite a while for her to return, it's sad if a predator got her.

I went back there yesterday and she still wasn’t on her nest, they were just swimming, doing their own thing the whole time I was there. I did look to see if there were eggs on the nest and there was but they were covered completely by leaves. I was there for about an hour and she still didn’t get on the nest. Her and her mate just do their own thing while the nest isn’t covered. Is that normal? I really hope those eggs don’t go bad.

Embdens. In Hutchinson Minnesota they have some domestic geese and wild ducks in a wild area, but they get fed and are fenced in. The pond also doesn't freeze.
Some of the geese were also Embdens. Neat!
The coolest thing was there were some Canada goose hybrids. They could fly so they joined the Canada goose flock.
