African Goslings

Introducing Valley Hatchery’s African Goslings, an enchanting addition to your poultry collection. These geese trace their ancestry back to the wild Asian Swan Goose of China, with a history that includes their introduction to Europe in the late 1700s and later arrival in the USA during the mid-1800s. African Geese exhibit remarkable resemblances to the original Lion Head breed from China, boasting distinctive shapes and stunning coloration. The name ‘African’ carries a hint of intrigue, possibly stemming from the mystique of Guinea, a coastal region off the African continent. These remarkable African Geese are not only known for their distinctive appearance but also for their longevity and reproductive capabilities. In favorable conditions, they have the potential to reproduce as early as their first year. These geese, while not the most prolific egg layers, typically produce between 20 to 40 extra-large, pristine white eggs each year. Their long lifespan ensures years of enjoyment and utility in your flock. African Geese thrive when provided with proper care, particularly in colder climates, where shelter is recommended to shield their unique knobs from frostbite. In case of frostbite, rest assured that their knobs will return to their striking black hue during the healing process. Known for their lively and vocal nature, African Geese are avid foragers, making them a delightful addition to your outdoor space. Their exceptional egg production, featuring above-average fertility and consistent laying, sets them apart. Valley Hatchery invites you to explore the world of Chinese colored geese, offering not only African Geese but also the Brown Chinese Geese. For those seeking a grander option, consider our Super African Geese, larger and more striking with a pronounced dewlap that distinguishes them from the common African counterparts.
