What Type of Gosling is This?

Hi everyone, got five of these today. Any idea what they might be?

I'd guess African, but I'm not positive. They are adorable.

My guess is that they are 100% cute.

But also pretty sure they are African. Boy are you in for a treat as they grow up.

Metzer farms a reliable source would indicate otherwise. I would guess Toulouse or Candian.

They are adorable I was just reading at Metzer's site yesterday that goslings who will grow up with knobs have concave sweep of down where it meets the bill, as opposed to those who won't having convex, like a U, and to me yours look like U not curved ^, if that's any help. I've never had geese, have often longed for them but the person doing most of the yard work at my house wants NOTHING to do with goose poop on the grass and ground where he walks, so no geese for me, I'll have to enjoy yours vicariously!

Thanks everyone! Maybe I will send Metzer an email and ask what they think.
