Toulouse Geese Thread

[CelticOaksFarm]

I'm thinking of picking up a little boy toulouse this year to live with my two embden geese. Will this trio work? Will the embdens be too energetic for him? I'm not looking to breed anything, the eggs will be collected daily, just thought it might be nice to have a boy. Sorry for the basic questions, we haven't had any boys before, except for my gelding but he is really, really girly.

The Dewlaps here dont like even the activity level of the Sebbies. They prefer to lay about and do light grazing. embdens tend to be more naughty, noisy and aggressive which will leave the poor dewlap low man in the pecking order. A production toulouse would keep up well though as they cover more ground in a days time like the Embden.

Quote: We have a local guy who grows Oat hay part of the year and we buy as much as we can when its available, another grows peanut hay and again buy as much as we can while we can. We grow timothy here over the winter, the same for rye, both burn off in our summers so its a new seeding for those months.

I think a production Toulouse boy would work well with a pair of embden girls (and they would have pretty babies too).

I will be getting him from my feed store who I think orders from Ideal. If it they don't specify dewlap can I be pretty sure it's production? (the baby list they gave me just says toulouse arriving 4/24) If not then I guess I will get another embden.
