The Farm has two breeds of Goose: Clyde who is an Embden gander and the Chinese goose, Mulan. We also have an Embden-Chinese cross goose called Christmas.
Chinese geese come in two forms, white with an orange bill and the brown and white variety with black beak. Both have round knobs on their beak much like a swan. We have the brown and white version at the Farm. They are very noisy and lay large eggs.
Embdens are a common breed of goose. They are large geese with snow white feathers which originate from Germany. Clyde quite literally landed at the Farm about 20 years ago and has stayed ever since!
Mulan and Clyde live together at the Farm and are part of our Animal Share scheme.
