Breed identification of Geese
« on: July 11, 2011, 12:37:01 am »
 Hi :wave:

I do not wish to seem naive but can anyone please confirm the breed of the two in the pictures.
Gandalf- the white  ;) and Lady grey.(though she is buff!)

When I first purchased them-from Melton,their wings had been..a bit more than clipped..terrible but coming back now.
I believe that  Gandalf as an Embden but Lady,well she could be a Brecon Buff or maybe pilgrim.

Gandalf stands some 3 ft,he is a formidable character and only bites everyone apart from me ;D,well,he chases them and ultimately,that is his aim!
Lady,so quiet and placid,quite nervous though she is afraid of the drake Campbell duck as he chases her with his head down~ well actually,I do not know what the behaviour is,whether is being territorial over Gandalf but this one keeps trying to breed with her :o

Please have a look and tell me what you think?
