Favorite Goose Breed

Sounds like dewlap Toulouse are mostly for show?

Well I looked at my favorite hatchery tonight, they are already accepting orders so I ordered my 17 chicks, and than I ordered my geese. I choose pilgrims after thinking it over. 3 females, and 1 male. All to ship June 1. So I guess I'm gonna try another breed. Hopefully my current goose will be impressed with my choices. Thanks everyone. Feel free to continue to discuss breeds. I'm so excited.

You might order 2 males. If your male dies it may be hard to find another Pilgram male quick enough for breeding season.

I'm okay if I lose the male again. I lost the one from this season, he didn't survive shipping. If I have to order the following year I won't be too sad. I'd rather be short a male than to have 2 males fighting and having to decide what to do with the extra.

Me too. Wish I had discovered them a decade ago.

Do they eat a lot? Now I really want some but they seem like they’d be good hogs LOL

I really can't tell how much they eat because I'm feeding a bunch of birds together. They can be noisy, and need room to run.
