Whoops. I was posting at the same time you were editing the OP.

Here's a link to more information about Toulouse. If you google "Toulouse Goose" there are lots of images there as well.

I am not a Toulouse expert by any means, but to my knowledge they must be vent sexed. I'm not aware of any outward physical characteristics that distinguish the sexes. There are the subtleties of course, carriage of the body, leg diameter, etc. but those can all fail.

I have no idea mine were adult when I took them in and I was told they were males and they are much larger. so I was only guessing.

I do believe in the Toulouse the male grows larger, but because you don' t know age or origin size is relative. Have you had your two existing geese through a breeding season? If they didn't lay eggs, they're probably male just as you were told. You should have seen mating behavior regardless though.

Could she possibly be part chinese? Her beak when viewed from the front looks rounded instead of having a V. She looks nice.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you look at her neck in the pic you can see the the brown stripe that goes down the back of it. Which is characteristic of africans and chinese. That and a friend of mine had african x toulouse crosses last year which looked similar.​
