We have three French Toulouse geese about 3 1/2 months old, two look pretty similar but one has always been smaller and seems to be growing more slowly. She’s healthy and happy so we aren’t worried but now she seems to be developing characteristics the others don’t have, like a flappy double...
After three years one of my geese finally managed to hatch out a clutch. Toulouse female and male, she had 8 eggs, 7 hatched, 6 made it out all the way and are surviving. I noticed that two of the surviving and the one that didn’t make it have pink feet and beak and the grey feathers are...
Hey all! I got my “Toulouse” goose April 2nd of this year. He (don’t actually know if he’s a he😅) is clearly not a full Toulouse, I have never had another breed. I am thinking he is an African goose or maybe African/Toulouse mix. He does have a little orange coming through on his bill, but I’m...
I’m curious how accurate people have found Metzers sexed goslings. I order 2 females (Buff and a a Toulouse) and one is literally 3 times the size of the other one (Buff is the larger gosling) - I have weighed them a few times. The Toulouse is doing well and steadily growing but from my...
So Cricket (the toulouse) and Jellybean (roman tufted) are a out 2 months old. Cricket is making more of a honking noise now. Can they be sexed by what noise they make? I'm super duper new to geese.
I'm currently on day 29 of incubating Emden x Toulouse eggs and I had 3/4 with movement on day 26-27 but after raising the humidity it went to 83% for 24 hours (my target was 70%). Now I don't see any movement. They should be hatching by now right? Did I drown them?

I have a gosling that I initially thought was a buff, but I noticed he has blue eyes.
My two girls that are the possible moms are a Classic Roman and an American Buff. More than likely the Roman is the mom.
The possible dad’s are Leo and Parsnip, French Toulouse, and French Toulouse?
Leo is...
I am a small hobby farmer with a mixed flock of chickens, ducks, and geese.
I’m fairly new to raising poultry (5yrs in) and am looking forward to learning more and sharing stories through this community.
So I am totally new to geese, but not new to poultry... have had ducks, chickens, and turkeys in the past. Came back in strong with 24 ducks, 6 bantam chickens, and 10 Embden x Toulouse goslings... now these 10 goslings are mixed and I have no idea what they might turn into , and I was hoping...
I have a pair of Toulouse geese and they hatched two eggs! They are super cute! Both parents are super protective. I have them in their own enclosure away from the chickens. And they are not allowed outside for now.
but do I leave the goslings with them or should I take them and raise them...
Hi friends. So I have a big problem. I have a buff Toulouse gosling who is about a week old. Earlier today he was just fine. He was with the other babies and they were all doing great. However, I went to check on them and I found him on its back. I picked him up and he flipped back onto his...
Hi,
I have 4, 2 week old Goslings that I need help identifying. 3 who I assume are Toulouse however I thought they had black Bill's as babies, mine seem to have pinkish gray bills and feet. The other has a pink bill and feet. These are the possible crosses since I bought the eggs and hatched...

Hi, I am new to raising poultry and have been raising chickens (4+ 1 rooster) since July now. I am now eagerly awaiting a larger addition of Chicks, ducklings and Emden goslings to our flock. The question is about the geese. I just read that Embden geese were not for beginners, esp. The males...
