Metzer Farms Toulouse recomendation

[Miss Lydia]

I have a pair of production toulouse that I got from Metzer's this year and I adore them. They are super friendly and beautifully colored. The goose is quite loud and a bit bigger than the gander. I hope to breed them in a couple of years to sell as local farm geese.

Beautiful wp, great to see ya back.

Thanks Miss Lydia! We've been super busy getting ready for some sheep I haven't had time to post in a while.

I'm glad to see this thread. I was looking at Metzer Farms geese, also, and wondering about the French production line. I think that's what I'm going to get next spring. All my animals have to be good working homestead livestock. (Well, almost all, LOL! Have a couple of useless cats, and a dog who so far hasn't been much use, but he's sweet!)

I have the French 2006 import line Toulouse from Metzers, and really can't say enough good things about them.
They are huge and super productive. Mine started laying this year at the end of December, and hatched the last gosling on July 2nd. I had so many goose eggs I ran out of things to do with them. You don't need a big flock to have tons of eggs and goslings. They are great setters. By the time they are two years old they are much bigger than Americans and Cotton Patch- both of which we have raised with them. Fertility is spot on as well.

are your stilll surper productive and do your fly ?

My Toulouse goose who was 1 yr in April laid a whopping 60 eggs this year, I am really hoping maybe half that many next season.

do you have the french toulouse or just the toulouse goose ?

do you have the french toulouse or just the toulouse goose ?

So there is French Production Toulouse and Production Toulouse ? I thought the French production and the Production were one and the same. What's the difference?

http://www.efowl.com/Toulouse_Goslings_p/1085.htm only place I saw where they showed both. I'd say after reading description of both i have Production not french, I'd have died if she had laid as many eggs as they say the french production do. Although she laid 20 over what they say is standard for the Production Toulouse too.
