Can I get a Toulouse goose as a guard goose for my hobby farm?

[Ava_farming]

Hello everyone

I have bucks and chickens and am trying to get a goose or two as guard geese for my farm I was wondering if a Toulouse goose would be a good choice. I'm also considering emden geese but have questions about the Toulouse. I want something that will be friendly with people and guard the flock. I would be raising it with ducklings and chicks and kids. I just want to know everyone's opinion about there geese to help me out with my decision. Thank you

Hope to hear from you

Manly Hawks or to sound the alarm if there are any Foxes or coyotes around the property (they would be kept in a safe shelter at night)

You need more than 1 goose to keep them happy. I've found my African geese are very loud. But they talk ALLL the time. Also they are no match for a raccoon and won't stop a fox either. A predator won't kill them outright but will injure them badly.
