The Pilgrim is one of two American goose breeds that is sexually dimorphic (auto-sexing), the other being the Cotton Patch. Day-old males are silver-yellow with light-colored bills, in contrast to the olive-gray females with their darker bills. Adult ganders (males) are mostly white, usually with gray rumps (that are covered by the wings) and traces of color in the tail and wings. Mature geese (females) are soft dove-gray with varying amounts of white in their faces. Bills and legs are orange in both sexes, while the eyes are blue in ganders and dark brown in geese.

The head is trim, the crown is often slightly flattened, and the neck is average in length and thickness. Their bodies are full and plump, with a smooth, keel-less breast. They should have two rounded fatty lobes on the abdomen. Pilgrims are medium-sized geese, weighing 13–14 lbs. at maturity. Properly managed, they lay 35-45 six-to-seven oz. white eggs annually.
