Toulouse Geese Sex Ratio

[Parrot]

I am wanting to purchase several Toulouse Geese. Is there a ratio of males to females that I should have?

Never heard of a hatchery that would sex geese, but 1/4 is fine as long as they are secure. Care to share the name of the hatchery?......Pop

Many hatcheries sex geese. Metzer sexes theirs, as does Ideal, as does McMurray, among others. So you've got lots of choices to order from.

Thanks everyone, maybe I just wasn`t paying attention. I`m down to 4 geese now, one Chinese gander, one Emden goose, and 2 crossbred ganders that are their offspring. Had 7 total when I moved them from FL to GA in `07, but predators have killed 3 and always destroy the nests. Of course the only hatchlings I`ve had for years have been males. Go figure. Thanks again.......Pop

I'm getting thew minimum order (8) from Metzer tomorrow. I ordered straight run, but they do sex them if you pay extra. Geez I hope I have better luck than I do with my wellies!
