What type of geese are these? And are they boys or girls?

They are beautiful crosses. I looked at the pictures and the brown one looks gander and the way the other is holding the neck reminds me of and gander too. But like Serv said it is tricky on the white one....

Thanks for the replies! I read in another thread that this is a difficult age to tell what sex they are. I have a few photos of the white one from when it was younger. Does that help at all?

 

[servpolice]

Yes it does and it looks like a gander even at that age

I am looking at the way they use their necks and ganders usually do this so much more than females.

Do what? Stick their necks out?

I've been reading and it's hard to tell, but they are both very talkative so maybe that's a sign as well. The grey one is slightly more talkative, but only slightly. They did think the white one was a girl when we got it, but I would not be surprised if they didn't tell us the truth about that!

I guess you did not get what I was saying. Look how they have their necks stretched out straight and long snaky looking. Gander's do that. Plus ganders talk a lot also.

Ah, now I understand. Yes, these guys both have their necks out a lot!

Here are some more recent photos. My landlord just told me he's sure the grey one is a girl. I don't know if it's true or not, the grey one has a much deeper voice with loud, deep honks and the white one is higher-pitched. When a stranger comes, the white one goes for the attack, never the grey one. And the best part, the grey one lets me pick it up now without running away! They are too cute, they help me in the yard when I am weeding.

What's up with the grey one wearing the fashionable foot attire? Did he step on something? Just curious, that's all. Sorry I can't help you with their gender but I'm still not positive what sex mine even are. Good luck though!!!

He stepped on something so we were keeping a sock on him while his foot healed. It's all better now.
