Roman tufted geese

[livininbrazil]

Hi im new to this thread. I purchased what I want told was 3 toulouse goose eggs early this spring but when only 1 out of the 3 hatched it definately WAS NOT toulouse! I called the woman I got the eggs from and asked her what other geese she had and she replied with roman tufted! So flash ahead until now and this goose is pure white with an adorable little tuft and beautiful blue eyes. Can anyone tell me more about this breed as I adore "her" and is there a reason why it wont go in water and swim? She will go in the kiddie pool and wade around but if her feet dont touch bottom she freaks out and runs off. Also can this breed fly? I keep finding conflicting info so anyone with experience would be amazing!! Thanks!

Hi Tsumo. If you go onto the goslings 2014 thread, you´ll find 8geesealaying, who has Roman tufted.

Thank you for your help! My goose is definitely a boy and is named Stellar. That's him in my avatar. He is the sweetest boy ever! He gets excited to see me every morning and hisses at anyone that isn't me (doesn't go after anyone just hisses and spreads his wings) but he let's me pick him up. I ended up having to order a couple girls for him this spring as he's trying to have relations with a female duck! Has anyone ever put their goose in a diaper and in the house?
