American Buff Geese Breed Standard
Uses: Utility – meat.
Eggs: 15 to 25 white eggs per year.
Origin: America.
Weight: Gander: 10 – 12.6 Kg. Goose: 9 – 12 Kg.
Colours: Buff.
Useful to Know: As a pet, hand reared can become very tame. Tufted American Buff Geese exist although are extremely rare and haven’t reached the UK (yet?).
American Buff Geese are very similar in appearance to Brecon Buff Geese and are marked like Toulouse Geese but are buff, rather than grey. The American Buff and Brecon Buff, side by side are almost identical in appearance but the bill and legs / webs are a bright orange on the American Buff rather than the pink colour found in the Brecon Buff. The American Buff is slightly heavier and the eyes are a slightly different shade of brown.
Little seems to be known about the origins of the American Buff Goose. They are one of the few breeds of Geese to have been developed in America. They were standardised in 1947 and entered the British Waterfowl Standards much later in 1982.
