Pilgrim Geese
;
The Pilgrim is the only goose breed in which males and
females are sex linked ; the males creamy white and the
females grey. It is likely that the Pilgrim was not
standardized as a breed until this century. Oscar Grow
claimed to have developed them in the 1930's in the
midwestern U.S..
Pilgrim geese are unique in that they are the only
domestic breed of geese that is sexually linked as a
gosling and as an adult. In Pilgrim geese, the sexes have
a distinct colouring and pattern that identities them.
Adult ganders are mostly white with some grey on the back
and wings. Adult females are mostly grey with some white
on their head and neck. The gosling males are silvery
yellow with light beaks. The young females are olive drab
with darker bills.
