Looks like a domestic Swan Goose x domestic Graylag Goose to me. Ragged neck feathers and bill size indicate Graylag heritage, and large dewlap and high forehead plate suggest Swan Goose.

Hi Karen! Welcome to Project Noah! This looks like a domestic goose, most likely a Graylag Goose (Anser anser), or a hybrid. Here is some info on these guys:
