High pitched, and she is a chatty kathy...

another thing is that after I got the name from people I looked up images,,,so does the males have a little pouchy looking thing under it's neck by the throat kinda like a chicken? Because this one does not have one.

How much do you think it was worth, being so friendly and all...was it worth $42? I would assume not but the expression on my little boys face when he found it, it was going home with us was PRICELESS!!!!

Yup, its a male. Males have high pitches voices, and females have low deep voices. There are non dewlap and dewlap varieties of Toulouse. yours is a non dewlap.

this one gets my vote.
orange feet and bill.. and females seem to have more of a "rudder" than a male.. the males underside is more flat between the legs..

you got your money's worth.. you would have paid a lot more for a dog..

Okay, another dumb question!!! how well can this geese fly...I want to turn him out in a pen without a top..without loosing him???

Do boys and girls HISS? Or is it a gender thing? Am I right that geese need a buddy? You might have to go get it a friend.

Both sexes hiss. It looks like an undewlapped Toulouse.

To keep the bird from flying away, you COULD clip it's wings and call it good.

Got any ducklings, or eggs?

Does mine look like a male or a female to you?
Does yours fly, I would hate to loose it, I may clip the wings as a safety measures. Is it the same as a chicken....don't want to cut it to far down!!

Can they fly, or fly far? I'm looking all over the net and can't find if they can or not....this is embarressing!!

toulouse... you want 2 more???? i have a pair that needs a new home

usually to heavy to FLY.. like fly away... mine run really fast and flap their wings and get about 6 inches off the ground...
mine are in a 6 foot chain link fenced area,, with no top...

Ive noticed that only my males hiss. My females have never hissed.

They cant fly at all. If they get a running start, they will only get about 1 foot off the ground.


Im waiting for my girls to start laying.

Its taking forever this year. lol
