Advice please
I have 9 Toulouse geese-8 girls and 1 gander. I know the ratio of geese to gander is way off. Should I rehome some of the girls or just leave the family as is? Everyone is happy right now but breeding season is right around the corner. Also-the gander is 6 years old, five of the girls are 4... -
The babies are here
So adorable! I'm sure you know that geese love to chew and gnaw on everything-my first two geese (both ganders) chewed all the brake light wires under our pick up truck and my husband had to fix everything-he wasn't happy with that! I'm very careful to keep all types of indigestible things... -
The babies are here
I didn't let any of my girls hatch this year, so I really enjoyed reading about your goslings and the pictures! I have Toulouse geese too so it was great to read about your goslings. Keep us posted as they get bigger :) -

How do you and your geese like the desert? I used to live in Temecula, CA (way south of you) but moved to coastal Oregon 4 years ago. Beautifully green and wet, but I do miss the desert scenery!- gooselove

Sick gander with bubbles in corner of eye
Does your gander have any exposure to sources of lead? My gander got into some old paint scrapings off our house and it made him very sick-he would just hide in the garage-not eating. He also had the bubbles/foam in his eyes due to not washing his eyes out often enough-he wasn't feeling good... -

Toulouse Geese Thread
Gee, too bad you aren't close to me as I'm sure my boys would love to meet your girls!! I'm so glad you were attentive when your goose had the spring around her tongue-that must have been very frightening! One of my ganders went through a six month bout of lead poisoning-we still aren't sure... -

Is there a cure for a nasty gander?
My geese free-range and are pretty decent with me. Unfortunately, they attack my husband-biting his boots, nipping at his legs and even have been known to use their wings on him. He carries a bamboo pole with him and they don't bother him as long as he has it. I just recently read another... -

That video settles it! I'm positive I have two ganders as Gary and Lucy sound just like Sam!! Lucy doesn't have the lower pitched voice. Oh well, time for more goslings!! Female this time :) -
