African Goose
The African goose is a massive bird. Its heavy body, thick neck, stout bill and jaunty posture give the impression of strength
The mature African goose has a large knob attached to its forehead, which requires several years to develop. A smooth, crescent-shaped dewlap hangs from its lower jaw and upper neck. The dewlap may become ragged in shape as the bird ages. A mature gander averages 22 pounds, while a mature goose averages 18 pounds.
Although referred to as African, these geese originate from Southeast Asia. They are closely related to the Chinese Goose, which has a very similar appearance but is lighter in weight and more graceful looking.
Africans come in three colors, Gray, Buff and White.
I have Africans in Gray and Buff so you could hatch both colors with the gray being more common
The saggy Gander in the pictures is close to 20 years old. Don't mind him he's just got very saggy. LOL ( Sadly The old Gander has passed away on 2022)
