Toulouse Geese Thread

[Miss Lydia]

We're lucky they aren't too bad! We free-ranged them together for a while. They usually will just give the hens a bite on the tail when they get too close to them haha

They want everyone to know who's boss.

Hello. I am planning on getting some toulouse geese later this year once we have a house built. We are going to get a pair along with some ducks. Does anyone keep their ducks and geese together? Do they get along? Will I need a separate place to keep the geese around breeding time?

Our 3 big boys! 6 months old now.

Jorah, Greyworm, and Barristan


And terrorizing the chickens

I lover the names you gave your geese! My only question is where is their queen?

@fearnowsh Mine are together during the day but at night they have their own houses. Then during breeding season my geese have to have their own area. My geese are not nice to the rest of our birds chickens and ducks.

While my chickens run around their area scratching and clucking independently and my ducks flock as a group being silly and doing dumb things; my geese prowl the field like a street gang. I know a lot of folks keep their flocks together with no problem but I would not dare to put my 11 Toulouse in with the other birds. There have been a few times that one of them has flown over their fence into the other birds pens and they immediately start trying to bite. Maybe mine are just the little thugs that they act like.

That is unfortunate. I have 11 Toulouse and the ganders are beginning to fight among themselves over the females (5 males 6 females). I really need to rehome probably four pair to get things back to manageable. I really don't want to have to advertise them because around her that means the dinner table and though that might be their fate I raised them from goslings and have developed an affection to them.

Wish you were closer I would give you a pair.
