Dewlap Toulouse geese - Page 3

You have beautiful birds I just checked out your website. I have wanted dewlaps for some time but havent been able to find any close enough. I would love to see pics of  your breeding pens.

I honestly am scared of geese, but the Dewlap Toulouse are just too cute to be afraid of...

I have a yard, a little less than an acre and i was wondering if that is big enough for 2 Toulouse geese.  I have not had chickens in 2 years and miss them very much but i want the geese as a "guard dog" so to speak for the chickens, and to keep the weeds down.  I have 2 fenced in areas off the coop that i can open up to one big fenced in area but I am also going to let them free range but i dont want the geese to wonder to far.  do you think my yard is to small? or any suggestions? 

Everyones geese are just beautiful. I love the dewlaps they look so gentle. Someday soon I hope I can aquire some.

 Desiree, I have 4 geese on an acre and they have plenty of room. I let mine out in my back yard sometimes and they stay in a small area. So far they haven't wonder away from the house. I keep a watch on them when they are out of their pen and if don't see one right away I call them and they come out from their hiding place and answer me. They go under the willow tree and sometime I can't see them.

 I read you can run up to 10 on 'good pasture ' per acre. That said, if they "eat it down" and you get in a dry spell and don't water or fertilize, you may have to have a 'dry lot' area, or a 'winter pen'. if the ground is real wet, they can cause damage. Right now mine are still in winter day yards (naked  of grass) because I  reseeded this year and have to wait a bit till they can't  pull the  roots out....

I had a very nice surprise this morning, I have 3 buff dewlap hatched under mama. Just had to share the news. Here is a pic of 2 of the 3 with mama(the 3rd seen me coming with the camera...LOL he must be camera shy...

Awesome!  Congrats on the hatch!!  I just hatched 3 buff dewlaps last night/this morning.  I've hatched all sorts of ducks, utility toulouse and african dewlaps.... and these buffs are hands down the most precious babies of all!!!!
