Gray African Geese
The
Gray African Goose is a massive bird of the African variety. While some breeders believed this type of goose originated in Africa, their genetic lineage is distinctly Chinese. Why they are referred to as an
African Goose is unknown. However, it was customary to give new breeds of waterfowl exotic names, despite their true origination.
The
African Goslings are quite adaptable and have a rapid maturity rate. Also, these birds can be cross bred with other breeds of geese to create larger breeds.
Gray African Geese have a delightful coloration which many have come to admire. The neck and back are primarily a brown coloration, gradually shading to a lighter gray on the underside. A dark brown and black stripe runs down the length of their back. The knob and bill are black, and the feet are orange. These
African Geese do not have the dewlap under the chin. We do offer a
Grey Dewlap African Goose that does have the dewlap under the chin.
African Geese are the leanest of the large waterfowl, making them a very popular breed. They also carry themselves with an attractive stance and posture, yielding a stately demeanor. When they're parts of a flock, their size causes them to attract a great deal of attention.
