Mute geese
Mute geese are domestic geese that go back to the domestication of the swan goose ( Anser cygnoid ) in Northeast Asia.
Mute geese have a frontal hump on their upper beak similar to the mute swan , which is more pronounced in males than in females. Especially with old Gantern this can grow out so that it almost looks like a small horn. In the wild form of the hump geese, however, this hump is only weak and only pronounced in the male sex.
Breeds and varieties
The breeds of hump geese include:
- Hump goose
- African Mute Goose, the heavy variant of the Mute Goose, which originally served as a fattening goose and was brought to America and Europe via Madagascar
- Cholmogory goose , the Russian heavy cultivated form of the hump geese with gray and white piebald plumage and pronounced throat dewlap
- Huoyan , the light Chinese breed with high laying performance
- Kubangans , modern Russian breed
- Mute geese

In addition, there are more than 20 Chinese breeds of the humpback goose.
The Russian linden geese are not recognized pedigree geese in Russia. The geese with this name shown in Germany correspond to the white color of the African humpback goose. An application for recognition as a breed was refused by the European Association for Small Animal Breeding .
Intersections
Hump geese can easily accommodate domestic geese that of the gray geese descended cross . The Steinbach fighting goose and probably also the Emden goose and the Toulouse goose go back to such a crossing .

There are also numerous cross breeds of Russian geese with hump geese, including kubangans and gorkies .
