The White Chinese Goose an extremely versatile breed; they will lay up 100 white eggs, yielding more than any other domesticated geese. This breed is easily sexed upon maturity and can be differentiated because of the varying sizes of the knob atop the goose's orange beak, the male's always being noticeable larger. The breeding ratio for the Chinese Geese is approximately 4 to 6 geese per gander, rather than the usual one to one mating ratio.
Along with a long, slender beak, Chinese Geese have short, compact bodies with broad, smoothly rounded chests. The White Chinese variety have pure white plumage with orange beaks and feet. The beaks are topped with the large orange know typical to all varieties of Chinese Geese.
