These are what I think are Embden Geese, also known as the Bremen. Although it as a German name, this is I think a northern Dutch breed that migrated throughout Europe to Italy where it was imported from to cross-breed with our native white geese. Also known as L'oie d'Emden in France/Belgium. The reason I think it's a Embden, is it's size. these were quite a big goose with plenty of meat on them. I have eat a few of these in the past.. one of the best birds for the table. They are normally kept from Egg production and meat.
