Chinese Goslings for sale hatching March to June.
Chinese geese are the smallest of the domestic geese. Chinese geese are often referred to as "Poor Mans Swan Geese" because of their carriage and grace and that they are affordable and easier to raise. They are also known as White China geese and Brown china Geese. White China goslings are a bright canary yellow when hatched.
Colors: We carry both the Brown Chinese Goslings and the White Chinese Goslings.
Geese Foraging: China goslings are called Weeder Geese or weeder goslings because they are great at foraging. Many people prefer using Chinese geese for weeding purposes because of their small size and active nature. Though Chinese geese eat the same grasses and weeds as other breeds, there is less potential damage to the crops because Chinese geese are more agile and careful where they step.
Production: Chinese geese have been known to lay large quantities of eggs - over 100 in a year! Chinese geese are the best laying breeds of geese. A female Chinese goose can lay 50û60 eggs over the course of the breeding season (February to June), although there are reports of Chinese Geese laying up to 100 eggs during that time. Younger birds achieve higher figures. Older geese produce fewer eggs.

Type: Chinese geese have the knob on top of their head. The knob at the top of the beak is more prominent on the Chinese gander than the Chinese goose. By 6û8 weeks of age of a Chinese gosling, the knob is already pronounced enough that it can be used for sexing. The China goose knob can freeze in cold temperatures.
Our White Chinese are a couple of pounds heavier than our Brown Chinese.
History: The Chinese Goose is a breed of domesticated goose descended from the wild Swan Goose. Chinese geese differ from the wild birds in much larger size (up to 5-10 kg in males, 4-9 kg in females), and in having an often strongly developed basal knob on the upper side of the bill. Chinese geese are a close cousin of the African goose, a heavier breed also descended from the Swan Goose.
