Geese
We
have tried several types of geese
including: Brown Chinese, African,
Embden and Toulouse. When we choose
a breed we look for both production
and temperament. The specimens
of these breeds that we had did
not meet our expectations. Therefore
we chose to raise Pilgrim Geese.
We are very pleased with this
type of geese.

Pilgrim
Geese are the only geese that
can be sexed by color. The males
are all white with blue eyes,
whereas the females are gray with
some white on the head and brown
eyes.
Day-old male goslings are yellow
or silvery with light bills and
the females are greenish gray
with dark beaks. This distinction
becomes more apparent as the babies
get older.
Our stock came from Calicowoods
and Metzer Hatchery.
