Oh they are simply magnificent!
A million or so years ago I painted a picture of Mother Goose and needed goose reference pictures. Buff was the prettiest color I found. They've nestled away in my imagination ever since. Now I've got my own Buff geese (breed and color) but the Toulouse in that color always turn my head. Some day maybe...
Here is the picture - you can tell I didn't have geese then, I got the nostrils all wrong (and the thought of either breed getting airborne just makes me laugh now)

I wanted greys. I didn't even know buffs existed. I wanted goslings (for bonding reasons). I was very blessed when these two were offered to me. It was unexpected, and I would have paid a fortune for them. I ended up buying each for $50 as a day old. I think that was a great deal. Especially with how well they have turned out. They came from very nice lines. Some of the very best in Canada. However, buffs are so rare.. It is very hard to find a buff gander. Ask Celtic. We both were searching high and low for some! I just love the colour. I can't imagine my farm without them.
