My sebbie is very laid back while the other is my one to be watched.
Loved your pictures. Your "other" goose looks very Chinese or a good mix of one. They are a goose breed that is not for the weak! I've mentioned it before, but I had a pair of brown Chinese that I raised from goslings. They loved me and hated the rest of the world. They are the only adult birds that I've ever had to place from this farm as they were free-ranged and would beeline for my neighbors that lived across the road and pin them against their house or car. Needless to say I couldn't have that, and with a heavy heart I had to find them a new home.

Good luck on getting goslings this spring.

She can't get to my neighbors as she doesn't fly. Only two of the new geese fly.
Any critter that gets out of line consistently gets eaten. I like goose for Chirstmas.
Bein as we have had them for a year it would be a big change if she started to really act mean.

She is a white Chinese mix. The knob on her head is definitely an indicator. If she was pure, she wouldn't have any color in her body. Still a very nice looking bird.
