I am new to raising geese and I have two Toulouse geese. I got them as guardians for chickens and ducks. Any advice, pointers, guidance, recomendations?
I’ve hatched 9 goose eggs and upon removing shells I’ve noticed a few have this green goo inside them. Any thoughts on what this is? Babes are all doing ok so far. Less than 24hrs old.
Hi all! So far I have chicken, turkey, and quail, and I’ve decided to add geese and ducks to the flock. What do in need to know for setting up their brooder? Is it the same as chickens? How often should they have bath time before they can head out into their run? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
So tonight I heard my goose (female Toulouse) screaming and ran out to find her trapped in the pen being “raped” by one of the mallards (male) that were given to us last month. I swear these 2 mallards will be thanksgiving dinner this year! I’m not sure if anything actually happened but he was...

Hi all,
I'm splitting my chicken flock and am wanting to get a goose as a 2nd guard goose for my 2nd flock. Having tentatively settled on the Chinese, there are a few questions, namely...

This is a long story so please bear with me. I have a pair of Dewlap Toulouse Geese which I got on May the 13th called Sid and Nancy. They are lovely natured and provide us with entertainment whenever we sit down in the yard to watch them. A week ago Nancy got attacked by a Mink at night, or we...

I'm heartbroken to write this , but I have what I believe to be a male and female toulesse geese I need to rehome. I think they would be better suited to a farm. I raised them from babies 3 days old when someone else got them and changed their mind. I wasn't aware how different geese are from...
