The Roman goose was imported from Italy in around 1903 although odd birds were mentioned prior to this date. Early birds often appeared with grey markings on their backs and a few will throw this defect today. They are very small compact chubby little birds with no keel. In America this breed is often found with a small feather crest and many have crests.
