African Goose Egg

They are large geese, and have large eggs. See the picture of me holding a pilgrim goose egg for comparison. African geese have been described as gentle giants, large and tall but lean for heavy breeds. They are very beautiful, with dark feathering not unlike the toulouse goose, and a black beak. They have dewlaps below the chin and a knob on their beaks. They weigh anywhere from 17-20 pounds, approximately. Females weigh less.
