I have a large flock of mixed breeds and sizes of chickens, plus some ducks. 7 ducks. I really want to get a Toulouse goose, or gander, but I know they're straight run as goslings.
I'd like to know more about their temperament, too. My Cayugas are pretty quiet ducks. The 3 call ducks appear to be two drakes and a hen, but even she isn't very vocal. Surprising, because my first batch o' four calls had two very vocal hens...
Anyway. If I get one gosling, will it be okay with the ducks as company (and all the chickens of various sizes, ages, colors...) or do I need to get two goslings? And if so, since I can't get them sexed, will two ganders or two geese be fine if the two don't happen to be a pair?
Please proceed some input - thanks!
