    Toulouse Geese and Concrete

    The very best bedding is peat. the stuff the British army stole from the Irish through two world wars. Nothing is as soft, absorbs so much moisture, is as easy to move about.

    My Toulouse goose flew 20 ft.!

    I saw my Toulouse, Sid, do a 2 foot of ground flight for about 10 or 12 feet, I was gobsmacked, then he attacked me because I was too near the nest lol. He is so big I think we would have to call local air traffic control should he ever be able to carry out a full flight!

    Hello From Ireland

    I will be active very shortly. We haven't had any trouble since the mink attack and Nancy's recovery. We now have two very protective and aggressive Toulouse, although I have seemed to reach an agreement of sorts with Sid. In any case, they are breeding and we are happy about it. We have an...

    Poorly Toulouse Goose

    OK, Guys, I just want to give you an update (will do more with the camera later), so you now know that Nancy has made a full recovery. We were very worried when we took her to the vets, we didn't know if she would live or die. As a hunter, shooter, and fisherman, I was more aware that the...

    Poorly Toulouse Goose

    Evening all, sorry I got locked out after a password malfunction. Nancy is back to normal and eating like a hippo! The vet was happy with her neck wounds, they clean and healthy, and prescribed antibiotics for her swollen head. That was Monday morning and she was eating by the evening! Tough girl!

    Poorly Toulouse Goose

    This is a long story so please bear with me. I have a pair of Dewlap Toulouse Geese which I got on May the 13th called Sid and Nancy. They are lovely natured and provide us with entertainment whenever we sit down in the yard to watch them. A week ago Nancy got attacked by a Mink at night, or we...
