Encountered this lovely lady today who decided to lay her eggs in the planter outside Target. They have roped her off and put cctv on to protect her. She seems quite unbothered by her admirers.

She was so still at first I just thought it was a weird planter with a decoy in it for some reason.

She is a very clingy baby ❤️🪿

So my wife and I saw this goose and are wondering why there’s only one egg and why the goose is alone? Super beautiful to see so close and we will be checking up daily, but any extra info would be awesome! Thanks

Lucy Goosey here went broody about a week week and a half ago. Really wish she would stop stealing all the toulouse eggs as they're laid, like come on now I got feed costs to recoup! 🪿😒🤣

I call him this due to his eating habits. He left his parents at 2 months old and joined an adult flock - which included a sibling a year older - and from about 3 months of age he has eaten seeds like he's attempting to decapitate my fingers😂

Anyone else's toulouse geese just absolute babies? Maverick and Goose here just love to be loved on! Goose'll chill on my lap now whereas she used to be terrified of me. Maverick will scream and scream and scream until I go down there and pick him up, he demands love.

I moved to a property last year and inherited a variety of birds. The past few days our goose has looked ungroomed and lethargic. When I went out to feed the birds this morning, it was tripping over some rocks and moving slowly. Its chest looks hollowed in and belly is sunken. Can anyone give advice or recommendations?

Hi! I'm an experienced in hatching/incubating chickens (many, many each season), however I've never incubated goose eggs! I just purchased 2 Dewlap Toulouse eggs that are being shipped. Again, I've hatched shipped chicken eggs, but never goose. Please give me all hints, tips, knowledge you all can impart! I'm assuming I'll have to turn by hand, given the size of the eggs!

Here's a photo of some of the parent flock!

That is all

My sister's 16 year old Toulouse goose (Lucy!) developed what appears and feels to be a large fluid filled mass in her rear end area just over the last 3 days. She has plucked the feather off the area, but maintains her normal happy demeanor, daily routines, and eating habits. It doesn't seem to be painful or physically affecting her, as you can grab her and feel the area without any to discomfort. Has anyone seen this before?

As the title describes, a goose has made a nest and layed eggs in our garden. My mother wants to get rid of the goose given that she settled right next to our outdoor sitting area. Any advice on how we can get rid of the goose in the most ethical way possible, given that we don't want to hurt it. But we also do not want to deal with a agressive mother goose in our garden.

It is a very important announcement.

This beautiful Toulouse goose showed up one day at my job! She(?) fits right in with the others, they are so fun to watch!

Is currently being treated with antibiotics and an antibacterial spray for her feet. She’s finally able to stand on it, and it looks like the skin is healing. She also looks like she’s feeling better, she’s been playing with her water. Thank you so much for helping me figure out how to help her.

Hi everyone!

Today I saw this wild goose in a city park. Something seems clearly off with his left wing, looks like angelwing but not sure. Is there anything I could do to help him? I'm not sure how problematic it is, like do you think he can fly? Looked for wild rehabbers around and wrote to one but got no answer (this is in MA btw).

Thank you in advance!

I was hardening off my strawberries on the patio and someone spotted all the nice new leaves. One gratuitous pruning later, and I have much smaller plants. Never trust a goose around plants!

Hello all- I’m looking for some tricks of the trade for my gander- Chad. Our dog snuck into our run and he valiantly defended his flock. He’s not torn up, but it seems he has a neck injury. He is able to stand and walk around but is keeping his neck quite tucked in. He can look around, but to extend it puts him off balance. I’m thinking it’s just sprained, or some torn ligaments. Just wondering if there’s any suggestions for rehab/splinting/supporting him while it’s healing.

We were told she was a female when we got her at 7 weeks old. She's about a year old now. She's the only waterfowl in this area, and she has her chickens that she hangs with. She has a pond, she just likes playing in mud puddles and being dirty.

She's loud. Anytime something new or suspicious appears, she honks loudly in a similar pitch as the video. She's chill with me, and I can work with/move/grab her chickens with no issue. If someone or something (dogs included) get too close to her chickens, it's on sight.

I'm suspicious that she's actually a male. We'd like to get her some waterfowl friends, but we're unsure about accidentally getting a second male if she is male.
