WILLOW'S FLOCK

What I am breeding for

There are many, many traits and personalities that an individual goose can have. The most important traits to me are whether they have a dewlap, how a gander's knob looks, their face, their personality, and their size. I am breeding for no dewlap because I prefer them without it.

​The picture of Redbud and Cypress shows how I like ganders' knobs to look. I do not want them to barely have a knob like in the picture of Mimosa. 
I like my geese to be big so that they can still be used for meat production but not as big as the purebred African goose. I like them to have unique faces and adorable honks. As for the personality I want friendly geese who will come and eat out of my hand and I have not kept any ganders who have turned out to be mean. I do like to have a few challenging shy geese and such geese can turn out to be very cute when they do come up and ask for food.

Eye colors can vary from goose to goose. I believe the lighter brown eyes come from chinese geese. I am not breeding for a specific eye color. Some geese can even have eyes that appear wide - this adds to cuteness and I do not intend to switch out any that have this trait. The picture of Pecan shows his wide-appearing eyes. 

My desired traits (I did not mention it all):
- No dewlap
- Big, not as big as an African goose
- Friendly personality
- Decent layers
- Nice feathers
- Bright orange feet
- A black beak with a bit of white behind the knob

Next post I will introduce my favorite gander - Redbud. ​

    my name is Emily

    I have twenty-eight geese. I hatch a bunch of goslings because I want a lot of people to have geese. I do not see them everywhere but I want to! The goslings are the sweetest baby birds I know! The adult males are proud and can be cranky but have their sweet moments while the females are shy and sweet all at the same time.
