Pilgrim Goslings I have never felt anything as soft as a new gosling! Text from American Livestock Breeds Conservancy follows: The Pilgrim goose is known for being calm and personable. It is the only American goose breed that is auto-sexing. Day-old males are silver-yellow with light-colored bills, in contrast to the olive-gray females with their darker bills. Adult ganders [males] are mostly white, usually with gray rumps (which are covered by the wings) and traces of color in the tail and wings. Mature geese [females] are soft dove-gray with varying amounts of white in their faces. Bills and legs are orange in both sexes, while the eyes are blue in ganders and dark brown in geese."(Holderread, 1981).According to this organization, they are a critically endangered breed and more breeders are needed. |
