Introducing pairs of geese??

[88Haywood88]

Ok, so I have a pair of toulouse geese... they are free range, have an irrigation ditch to swim in... everything is hunky dory for them. I recently aquired a second pair of toulouse geese a week ago. They have been in the goat pen for a week, just so they understand this is where their home is. My question is whether the ganders will fight or not. Both pairs have been life long companions. what do you think will happen? Will I have to off one of the ganders? Thanks.

Did you ever get an answer? I am kind of in the same situtation and looking to possible integrate new geese into an existing flock

My first goose was a lone gander that somebody dumped off at my house. I introduced four more females and another young gander about 5 months later. He took to all the females without any problem but he quickly established the pecking order over the other gander. They have never to this day fought each other but my youngest gander is just around a year old so I'm hoping as he matures that they don't begin fighting during breeding season next year.
