What breed are these? And other geese questions!

I get mine from my local feed/grain mill, call around and ask, and specify it's for geese, not seed, they'll know what to get you. I buy a 40lb for ten bucks which lasts be throughout the year.

I use frozen corn that I defrost all they have to see is the bowl and they follow me ,

How much do you give them and do you throw it into the coop or just put the bowl in there so they all go in?

I've been showing waterfowl and chickens for 8 years almost 9. I also breed them for show. Those geese are Not chinese. They do not have the right coloring. They are French Toulouse. Now by the looks of it these are commercial Toulouse not exhibition Toulouse because at 8 weeks or so they grow slowly and have dewlaps developing. Although it bought at TSC they would be Commercial because to buy a Exhibition gosling you are looking at 77 to 88 dollars a peice.
I trained my Geese to herd. So it makes moving them around much easier.

Don't Toulouse have orange bills and feet?

No they have black feet and bills I have 5 commercial Toulouse at home.

The shape where the bill attaches is rounded up which suggests they will develop a knob from my understanding. This talks about the differences between Africans and Toulouse.

Oh interesting!! There’s no sign of a knob forming at all so I was curious about that.

I made super wide platform steps from pallets and scrap wood planking and they are so much more comfortable using those rather than the ramp!

No one said they were Chinese, I have Africans, these geese look exactly like mine.

Would you be kind enough to provide me with a picture of a Toulouse with a black bill, I just spent that last five minutes desperately searching the internet to no avail. I'm pretty sure Toulouse do not have black bills , .
