Here are my two geese - mr. and mrs. Gossmann and their two days old goslings . I am afraid I don't know what breed they are (if any) and I would be most grateful for your input.
I got the goose for my birthday and I got her the gander to keep her company. Neither of the previous owners knew what breed they were, only that they were - well... geese . There aren't many geese breeders here in Slovenia. Geese are seldomly kept at farms, but that's it. I've contacted a couple of breeders when I was searching for the gander and their advice was to mind that he's more or less the same size as the goose and that there could be problems with the goslings if one of them is vocal and the other one silent (I hope those are proper English terms ). So, I got the best looking gander in the same weight class and they hit it off instantly .
Mr. Google gave me some idea what breed they could be, but I am not sure since there are quite some similar-looking breeds. I thought mrs. Gossmann could be a pomeranian and mr. Gossmann could be a "production type" toulouse or a greylag. Anyone with more experience have an idea?
Thanx a bunch !
