Toulouse goose can fly?

My Tuft Roman was roming outside one day, when I had to leave for 1/2 hour, I closed up the big pen so the ducks would not get out. but left him wandering with the tom turkey (they were strutting poppas). when I returned 1/2 hour later he was back in the closed fenced in area hanging with momma goose who was setting on her nest. the only way he could get back in to this penned in area would have been to fly over a 6ft fence.

Small breeds like romans and buff are better at flying than large breeds. I’ve still seen my Toulouse rarely on occasion leap up and fly at about five feet, but at their body size with underdeveloped flight muscles compared to wild birds they generally can’t maintain it for more than a few moments so they tend to not bother with it most of the time. Younger birds are more likely than older birds too, they’re lighter and their wings can take them further.
