🙏❤🙏Possibly Getting 4 More Toulouse Geese!

***UPDATE!***
MY HUSBAND AGREED TO GET THE 4 TOULOUSE GEESE!!!

❤❤❤YIPPEE!!!❤❤❤

❤Photos will be uploaded tonight once we get them home & settled!❤


I have to talk to y'all...I am sitting here trying not to get TOO excited, but it's not working!

I have a lead on 4 Toulouse hens (sorry, holdover from my duck lingo!) & I have to wait to talk to my husband about it as he is currently working with 3 others to finish a wall that is replacing an old roll up garage door! The suspense is killing me!

3 of the ladies would come home right away, the 4th after she is done sitting on eggs.

I've read that one gander can handle maybe 3 hens...would the 4th be too much?

I wouldn't be putting the new geese in with the others, since my pair are in a pen inside my greenhouse / barn. IF this happens, I believe I may put them in my fenced in garden. Will a 4 ft fence be suffice? My Pilgrim pair are in a covered pen, as they are in with my Muscovy.

Thanks for letting me babble! I will let y'all know what happens!

God bless!

Good luck in getting them. Geese can be funny in my experience. Some form extremely strong pair bonds and breed only their mate. Some will breed others once their mate starts setting, and others will breed anything/everything. Sort of like people.

Woohoo! More geese!

I LOVE my two American Buff girls, although the very broody Golly is seriously hissing and giving me ugly stares right now.

I don't know about your geese. but a four-foot fence would be sufficient to keep my big-bodied girls penned. In fact, only Gussie has ever crossed the 2-foot runner duck fence. She immediately regretted the move and started calling for Golly to come find her.

Let us know how this one goes!
