Toulouse Geese Thread

[jtn42248]

you said they lay 30 ... so why dose wikipedia say.' An average Toulouse lays 220-240 eggs per year the best layer ' .... they say the same thing about the pomeranians . they said pomeranians will lay 70+ . but they did say some will produce less . so that be confusing me. but thanks for the answer !!

I don't know where Wikipedia got their egg laying information. However as you can see from the following links 20-40 is normal for Toulouse.

Since geese only produce eggs during their mating season and then usually one egg every other day it would seem impossible for any breed of goose to produce over 200 eggs per year.

I've never heard of any breed of goose laying that many eggs per year, Chinese are the top layers and I don't think they come near that.

Me either. Even if a goose breed was developed to lay year round instead of just during mating season laying an egg every other day they would max out at 187 eggs. I think that perhaps the Wikipedia article was just grabbing at numbers and listed chicken egg counts.

NO CAMERA???????? What do you mean no camera. You know they won't deliver the geese unless you have a camera. That is in the instruction manual. You must have a camera in order to have geese!!!!!!!!

Well, just this once, a borrowed camera will work. But don't ever let it happen again.

Oh guys I need advise. Just had my first gosling hatch in incubator and it looks like simething is wrong with its butt. Looks like maybe untedtines are outside body sortif? Like a fleshy lifesaver around the anal area. Otherwise feisty chick. Seen this before?
