This is information I found online regarding geese ...
Diet
Our geese are fed a diet of layer pellets, cracked corn, oats, wheat, and oyster shells. During the day they are let out for at least 4-5 hours to be allowed to forage on grass and weeds. During the breeding season they should be fed laying pellets and some ground oyster shells to produce hard shelled eggs, but the oyster shells is not necessary. Dry, powdery mash should NOT be fed to geese because it can get stuck in their mouth and lead to "dropped tongue". They can also be fed wheat and oats. Geese always need a clean supply of water available. It must be deep enough so that they can submerge their nostrils, so they can clean them out.
DO NOT GIVE GEESE BREAD. The bread will swell up in the stomach when the goose drinks and can be fatal.
Housing and Bedding
I use a large dog kennel to house my geese. The top of the kennel should be covered with wire to protect against any predators. Also you should cover half of the top in the spring, summer, and fall. During the winter the whole top and 2-3 sides should be covered with a tarp to protect against rain, wind, and snow. The shelter must be waterproof, predator proof and well ventilated. At night the geese must be penned up.
For bedding I like to use straw, not hay, although I do use hay for the nests. Straw is better because the pieces of straw are cut up into smaller pieces and more brittle. I recommend mucking out the geese enclosure every 1-3 weeks, depending on how many geese you have in the enclosure, and how big the enclosure is.
ALBC Watch List
The Toulouse breed is on the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy's watch list. Being on the watch list means that there are fewer than 5,000 breeding birds in the United States, with ten or fewer primary breeding flocks, and globally endangered.

Call Duck information
The Call Duck is the smallest breed of domestic duck. They only weight about 1-2 pounds. They were developed to be carried around by a hunter to call the wild mallards down for hunting. Call Ducks are a cheap bird to keep because of their small size. They have small plump little bodies with small, full, round heads and short bills. Call Ducks are great ducks to have as pets. They are friendly and easy to care for.
Housing
Once the ducks reach about 6 weeks of age, they will want to be outside most of the time. The will need a safe, dry, and secure place for them to be safe from the elements and predators. I reccommend keeping the ducks inside at night to help protect from predators such as raccoons, and foxes. The pen should be fenced in and about 4 feet tall. The top of the fence should be covered with wire netting or chicken wire. Do NOT use shavings for ducks under 2 weeks of age as they will try to eat them and choke, but shavings are good for adults. I prefer to use straw. It is easy to break apart and makes a nice cushioned bed for the ducks. During the winter their shelter should be covered with a tarp on the top and 2-3 of the sides of the pen to protect the birds from rain, wind, snow, freezing rain, and sleet. If the temperature gets below freezing, 32 degrees farenheit, I would put a heat lamp in with the birds.
Water
Ducks do not need water to swim in but I reccommend it. The water must be deep enough for the ducks to stick their beaks in up to their nostrils. The ducks need that to clean the dust out from their nostrils. It will make your birds much happier. I suggest cleaning the water at least twice a day depending on how dirty it gets, and how many call ducks you have.
Feed
Call Ducks do best on a pelleted feed. During the breeding season I reccommend adding crushed oyster shells to the food. That helps to make the egg shells hard. During the winter the best feed is wheat mixed with some crushed corn, and some pelleted food. Also during the winter I recommend feeding them some crushed corn. The crushed corn helps them build up the fat that they need to survive in the winter. Call Ducks also need a little bit of grit mixed in with their food to help them digest and break up the food.
Some predators include the weasel, mink, skunk, raccoon, fox, wolves, hawks, owls, domestic dogs, rats and snapping turtles. Make sure that you predator-proof where you will house the call ducks. Always cover the top of the pen with chicken wire so that no predators can crawl over the pen and get to the birds.
