Basic Info

Brown African Geese are heavy geese, with males weighing between nine and 13 kilograms or about 20 pounds and females weighing eight to 11 kilograms or about 18 pounds. They are quite thick set and have large dewlaps. Brown African Geese have black beaks characterized by a large knob that projects forward from the top of the beak. They tend to be the leanest geese compared to the other heavy-type breeds. The Brown African Goose has also been described as having a stately appearance. A brown stripe runs down the neck from the top of the head, and the rest of the plumage is colored in various shades of brown, gray, and white. The feet are orange in color, ranging from dark orange to a brownish version.

Health

Although Brown African Geese can tolerate cold weather to an extent, their beaks may be susceptible to frostbite characterized by orange areas. Breeding Brown African Geese may produce a clutch at one year of age. Usually, the incubation period is about a month and one gander may service between two and six females.
