Pilgrim Geese - New Addition to the farm!

I purchased some pilgrim goslings from Metzer's hatchery in Northern California.   I also purchased some ducklings and they all arrived in the same box.
Pilgrim geese are an old breed that is listed as threatened by the Livestock Conservancy.    They are a calm and friendly breed of geese.    They are also an auto-sexing breed which means you can tell by the color of the babies which are male and which are female.   Males are white as babies and females are gray.
I received one male and two females.    Here are pictures of them as babies.






Here are some pictures of them when they are bigger





This is what the geese look like when they are mature.  You can tell the male (white) from the females (gray)
