The family group.

The Emden Goose. The origins of this breed are thought to be from the North Sea region in the Netherlands and Germany.The breed is pure white with a short light orange bill and orange feet and shanks. They are fast growing birds and will quickly reach about 9 kg (20 lb) for the Goose and 14 kg (30 lb) for the Gander. The head is oval-shaped and they have a long and graceful neck. The eyes are ocean blue. The body is bulky and well rounded, having a long back and a short tail. The wings are very strong and of a good length. The feathers are close and very hard.
They are omnivores and prefer living near some water as they eat small insects and water dwellers. They are a very hardy breed and don't mind fairly mild sub-zero temperatures. Males are more vocal than females and can often be heard honking loudly if approached, but geese in general talk quietly throughout the day. When cornered or defending their nest male or female geese will try to warn away predators by loudly hissing at them and ruffling their feathers. If provoked, especially in an enclosed area, their strong wings can be used as a weapon. Being domesticated they can fly but don't migrate. An Emden goose matures in about 2–3 years and will start to look for a mate for life. The adult bird will commence laying eggs fairly early in the year, in February as a rule, laying 30 to 40 eggs. The goose starts incubating the eggs around the beginning of spring for about 28–34 days.
