But...they are not in the us yet! :( and someone said domestics cannot fly. It totally depends. One breed, the cotton patch geese, can fly very well. I've had Chinese that will fly. I even bought 3 American buff geese the other day (beautiful birds) and they manage to get off the ground a bit. Generally young domestic geese, and the Chinese can fly. Another thing. Greylags are not domestic. They are wild, but their descendants are domestic geese. Make sense? Lol. It's fun to see these interesting geese in the wild, but unfortunetly, they don't last long. If a hunter sees a unique looking one, they just have to blast it so it can go on their wall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-12437467718541252442007-09-18T09:42:00.000-05:002007-09-18T09:42:00.000-05:00Thanks for weighing in with opinions everybody!Thanks for weighing in with opinions everybody!Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-65340641056114757072007-09-18T08:27:00.000-05:002007-09-18T08:27:00.000-05:00Sweet goosey, I need to keep my binocs and camera ...Sweet goosey, I need to keep my binocs and camera with me more often!

It is a female and would not have the bill knob.<BR/>I have a rescued Canada goose. It chose one of my female african geese as a mate. They produced one baby together. It is a female. You can see the outline of the canada goose's white head markings, hers are light gray. Being a half domesticated goose she could never get off the ground. The only way I can think of finding out if a bird in a flock is traveling with that flock is to get them to fly. If that bird flies chances are someone didn't just dump it.whimzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14767393588390968554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-83759793064011673462007-09-15T19:34:00.000-05:002007-09-15T19:34:00.000-05:00A few years ago, we had a white goose hanging arou...A few years ago, we had a white goose hanging around with a flock of Canadian geese. We assumed it was a domestic goose, but we weren't sure. I wish I could find my photos of it - I remember it had a really ugly turkey-vulture-ish thing going on with its beak. Your white goose is much prettier.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883576803006646889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-40504138891008151912007-09-15T08:12:00.000-05:002007-09-15T08:12:00.000-05:00I'll bet she's a popular goose, being different an...I'll bet she's a popular goose, being different and all...lol. ;c)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30166446.post-24666821629785175872007-09-14T20:41:00.000-05:002007-09-14T20:41:00.000-05:00On the subject of "hybrids", I saw a domestic/wild...On the subject of "hybrids", I saw a domestic/wild mated pair one time while coming home from work.
