There are often goose seedlings sold in rural areas, how to distinguish the male and female of the g

When choosing goose seedlings, you can distinguish male and female according to the head of the goose. Many vendors will divide the male and female in advance, but sometimes there will be errors in judgment.

1.Observe feather morphology.

Although it is not easy for young goose seedlings to distinguish between male and female, some clues can still be seen from the shape of their feathers. Generally speaking, male goose seedlings will grow faster than female goose seedlings. So at about 12 days, the feathers on the back and tail of the male seedlings will start to grow, while the female seedlings will take 2-3 days at night.

Looking at the color of the limbs and beak, the color of the beak and limbs of the male goose seedlings is relatively dark, while the color of the female goose seedlings is relatively light and blue.

2.Observe the posture of the movement.

Observing the movements and posture of the goose seedlings can also make a preliminary judgment of the gender. Generally speaking, male goose seedlings have a large range of activities, like to walk through the grass, and at the same time show a certain domineering characteristics. Female goose seedlings are relatively quiet during their activities, and are more likely to graze and bathe in place.

3.Sound signature.

At 2-3 weeks of age, the throat of the male goose begins to secrete a foamy substance, at which point they will make some "quack" sounds, which are hoarse and short, and will also have a loud echo. Female goose chicks, on the other hand, tend to sing long and have a relatively pleasant and soft voice.

4.Sexual maturity.

At sexual maturity around 1 year of age, male and female geese will have completely different characteristics. For example, male geese will have a more pronounced Adam's apple, a taller body, and longer neck feathers. In addition, if it is a covered goose, the female goose will have more fine lines and a relatively gentle and petite body.

5.Goose seedlings paving behavior.

When observing the grass laying behavior of goose seedlings, the gender can also be judged to a certain extent. Farmers with strong guessing ability can accurately judge the sex of goose seedlings when observing the behavior of grass laying. Normally, male goose seedlings are neatly laid out and stand upright; Female goose chicks, on the other hand, are more willing to toss and turn in the grass and appear relatively lively.

6.The goose seedlings are weak and rotten.

Although it is not easy to distinguish between male and female in the early stages of growth, female and male chicks will differ in size and morphology over time. Generally speaking, female chicks are petite in size, but they are slender and have smaller heads than male chicks. Male goose chicks, on the other hand, appear to be maturing and begin to feel thick in size and shape.

7.Dependencies.

It is more likely that they will rely on each other to be called homosexual, and male goose seedlings are easy to rely on taking care of same-sex goose seedlings. If there is a dependency between goose seedlings of the same sex, hormones can be added to the feed.

8.The scientific method of gender identification.

At present, there are many scientific methods, the most commonly used is to artificially prepare goose embryos, and check the sex gene through radiation to achieve the purpose of identifying the sex of goose seedlings. This is called a DNA test.

In conclusion, the preliminary determination of the sex of goose seedlings can be based on seven aspects: feather morphology, movement posture, voice characteristics, sexual maturity, grass laying behavior, body size and interdependence. If you need a more accurate identification method, you can use modern scientific and technological means, usually using radiation to check the DNA of the goose seedlings, so as to accurately determine the sex of the goose seedlings.

Is it difficult to tell the male and female of the goose? Just learn these few tricks and easily tell that you won't buy the wrong one again!

Observation: In the process of driving away the flock of geese, if the head is lowered and the male goose keeps screaming, if it is the female goose who makes a low cry. **Body Type:

The female goose is light and delicate, with a slender neck and broad hips, while the male goose is larger. Feather color identification: the feather color of the male goose is white or yellow, and the feather color of the female goose is gray or black.
