I feed Kings Brand waterfowl pellets. Been using it for years. I am in central California and it is milled just south of me. It is what Metzer farms uses. Great stuff, and only $16 a bag.
Absolutely, mine are a lot friendlier than other breeds I have had. They may hiss at you during breeding season, but mine will not chase you like other breeds.
I love them all, and have raised most of them. I really like pilgrims to, but the Dewlap Toulouse are the calmest and the most entertaining geese I have been around. They act more like a dog than a goose some of the time.
If any one is interested, I am going to be selling a few of my Dewlap Toulouse goslings this spring. I have both gray and buff. The goslings are $60 each and fertile eggs will be $20 each.
I will have a few Dewlap Toulouse eggs for sale soon. This is a pre sale. They come from Holderreads and Overton bloodlines. Big beautiful geese. I have 3 males and 5 females. Both grey and buff colors. They should be laying within a month. Should be sooner than that depending on the weather...
