o.O One of the "boys" gave a few short BIG GOOSE honks today. I thought for a second the Canadians were flying over lol

I shall endeavor to live up to the confidence you have placed in me

Mad skillz. I hope that I could do that one day :)

They seem happy as geese in mud LOL Beautiful birds!

Howdy louisiana and welcome to the thread. Based on what these folks have told me, I could use another male for my 3 girls. If it weren't too late to add to my order, I'd likely add another male :)

Thanks everyone for the words of wisdom and advice. I'm sure by next year I will have this all sorted out and will want another male. For now, I want to get this angel wing under control before I place the ones I have. I unwrapped it last night after about 3 days and it looks a little better...

Can you remove the gander after all the babies are born and let the ladies do the baby rearing as a community?

Well unfortunately Metzer is sold out of Toulouse for the season now. I just got lucky since my order was smallish that they could accomodate me. I would if I could but can't. . LOL Maybe I will get lucky on CL with another male Toulouse someday : | I'll just have to cross fingers he can...

LOL! I suspect ya'll are bird enablers......master plan to get me to keep all the babies I just called Metzer. She assured me that one gander can cover 3 geese. I was about to order another male and she said naaa you don't need one. Meanwhile I will run a Craigslist ad and see what happens.

LOL. No thanks. I really don't need a loft barn apt.

LOL You gonna stop by and help build yet another pen? The funny part is I have a huge barn. But. It would need repairing to predator proof to my standards, AND its not close enough to the house for my comfort. I like having them close by :)

I could add one since my Toulouse order is to be shipped next week. But I definitely don't "need" more geese LOL

Or I could be all kinds of silly and add an African female to my order and rehome the less friendly boy lol

Perhaps if I put the Toulouse in their own pen, with separate nests for the girls and let the gander stay with all 3? Would be glad to have some input now before it even becomes an issue. I'm curious too thanks for the input.

I "think" 3 to 1 is alright but by no means am I an expert on anything.....so I am looking forward to hearing responses. TIA!

True, but it would be nice to have all Toulouse babies from all 3 girls.

I don't want the African boys cross breeding with the Toulouse......how would I prevent that? Just separate out the Toulouse for breeding season? Oi.

Well thats' a relief, but its best to rehome them now before I get any more attached lol

Thanks for having a look for me servpolice. I was sort of afraid they were both males based on their behavior. The larger one is much sweeter and more friendly than the smaller one, but then I do mess with him more due to wrapping the angel wing. I am getting 4 Toulouse goslings from metzer...

Greetings. I received 2 geese with a package of birds I got about 8 weeks ago. I was fairly sure they were African geese until I looked harder at the brown Chinese goose. One of them is MUCH bigger than the other (the one with the wrapped wings) so now I am unsure. They are both very alert...
