Embden Goose

The breed is pure white in colour with a light orange, short, Bill, and orange feet and shanks. They are fast growing birds and will quickly reach about 20lb for the Goose, and 30lb for the Gander. The Embdens legs are fairly short. The head is oval in shape and they have a long and graceful neck. The eyes are blue. The body is bulky and well rounded in shape, having a long back and a short tail. The wings are very strong and of a good length. The feathers are close and very hard. The breed’s habits are to forage for titbits in the grass and water, a very hardy breed. The adult bird will commence laying eggs fairly early in the year, in February as a rule, laying 30 to 40 eggs. The bird is an excellent table bird.
