What kind of goose?

I’d appreciate an experienced opinion. Thanks!

The one on the left looks like a Toulouse. The one on the right also seems to be a Toulouse I love Toulouse! Mine is so mild-mannered and hilarious!

How noisy is your Toulouse? I'd love to get geese, but I could hear my male ducks quacking up a storm this morning, and was thinking geese might not work for me.

My Toulouse is an old biddy, so sometimes she will honk up a small storm (especially when I bring her treats!), but usually Toulouse are quiet and gentle, good beginner geese.

Great, that’s what I was hoping for. I bought four of the goslings in the picture. I have four older toulouse now, and love them. Wanted to add a few more!

Crossbreds. Basic Toulouse color. But the have a small tuft. And one is showing a small knob.

Thanks! I wondered about the knob. I don’t breed, so I’m not too picky, but I love the toulouse I already have. Hoping these little ones grow up to be just as fun (though I lost one of four goslings yesterday. I’m assuming hawk, as it just disappeared without a trace within my 8-foot-fenced-in area. I have a LGD and he goes crazy for anything 4-legged, but I don’t think he perceives raptors as threats, yet. Hoping to change that!

Cover the top if it's 8' sorry for your loss.

I'd suggest a top as well. I loose a goose nearly every year to owls.

The 8 foot fence surrounds our 4 acre homesite. The adult geese free-range, but have various shelters (that they never use, except storms). The goslings sleep in a fully-secured coop, but I let them run with the bigger geese during the day - that’s when it got taken. I’m waiting til they’re bigger for any more free-ranging!
