Thinking of getting a goose

[TinkleTurkey]

we currently have 7 toulose.
We have about 70-80? birds including chickens (dozen roos) 7 guineas dozen peafowl turkey - oh and 3 barky dogs

they are louder than all the other animals combined, and even wake me up in the middle of the night on occasion.
They are louder than the guineas and THAT is quite a feat! Plus not just honking, but also very high pitched screeching as well. HONKHONK EEEEEEICCCCH!!! HISSSSSS (repeat,repeat,repeat)
Plus, they hate me - hissing and chasing and will even try to bite- despite how lovingly they were raised from goslings and hand fed lots of treats.

They've got to go - you can have em with if you want! I've decided waterfowl just aren't for me.

I have 4 Toulouse, and they are fun, friendly (except about their nest), easy going, but they DO honk at night a good deal. My Guineas are loudest but only during the day.

Hi

i live in a nice clean neighborhood and was wondering what type of goose should i get? I need a quiet type yet friendly... and not to big more like small gotany tips?

Yep go with ducks instead, geese aren't suitable where lots are small and people are close. Muscovy are sometimes mistaken for geese but they are smaller and much more quiet.​
