finding a home for our Geese, NW FL

[Pappa Goose]

We have 5 Geese 2 female Toulouse (2 years old) 1 Female Chinese (3 years Old) and Two Emden 1 Male and 1 Female (3 months old)

We are moving to a apartment from our small parcel of land, so we have to find a home for our Geese. We live in the Panhandle NW Florida and are prepared to travel a good distance to get them to a good home.

The Geese are pets so we hope that if someone wants them it will be as pets.

I'm sure you wouldn't be down to travel to NYS, but I would love to be able to help you out. We are looking for female toulouse!

If there's any chance you would ship them I would be very interested.

Thanks for the offer, All of the Geese to one owner as pets. Certainly for NYS we would be looking at shipping when I said I was happy to travel a good distance that was more hundreds rather than thousands of miles.



I was praying for a Geese enthusiast in the State of Florida or bordering States Alabama Georgia or at a pinch a couple of States over if push comes to shove.

I understand. We were looking just for toulouse since we lost our female from our first pair this year. We surely would not be able to take all of the geese if no other reason than that we would have to build a bigger goose house. Otherwise they would have been pets. (We don't even eat our chickens and hand raise all our poultry)

We had Chickens same here just could not eat them, unfortunately just about everything else did, the Geese just have to worry about the bigger predators, Sammy and Rosie are in the pic Sammie's head will appear whenever you are doing anything in the Garden, not sure if its true of all males but he has a sweet temperament, we will miss them they are a comical bunch good alarms in the Garden Sammy is like a foghorn when anyone strange turns up, and they do eat weeds.

Our goose, Dick, is the sweetest. He's not full grown yet, but I'm sure his personality won't change too drastically. We don't really have issues with predators since we have a dog, but apparently we are accident prone this summer. Otherwise all the chickens, ducks, and the goose all cruise around the yard and the goose drags the ducks out to the pond every afternoon. We love watching our poultry do their thing in the yard. This is a photo from a few years ago, but not much has changed.

Looks like Goose heaven, as you can see from the photo of our land in Florida, its dry and sandy we have to buy the feed and fresh produce, the Geese are family so its not a problem. We are on a schedule for moving so we will have to do something, and if we can't find a taker, we won't just let them out into the wild that would be cruel. The local Animal Hospital is our last resort. Hopefully it won't come to that.

Anyway if you have a change of heart then let us know I would make the trip myself if it was for all five of them.

Just a quick question about your toulouse ladies, what type are they? Production, dewlap...?

 

[Pappa Goose]

Not sure this is a picture of Tilly with the Chinese Jessie in the background

My wife believes they are Dewlap ? she is sometimes right but not always

 

[silenthawk2x3]

She's a beautiful girl! Definitely doesn't look like a dewlap to me, which is the only kind we are not interested in... I am speaking with the powers that be, because if it comes down to it we have a barn. My only other concern is that your Toulouse ladies are definitely ladies (how do you know). This is because we are on a serious hunt for some lady friends for our existing gander and would not want to upset his reign of the yard. I am very seriously considering your offer if you were serious about the drive. If it makes you feel any better we are in south western New York practically on the PA border.

If you have a more current picture I would be able to tell you better. They get super chunky as they get older and I'm assuming she was only ~1 year old in this picture?
