African
 | This breed is descended from the wild Chinese Swan Goose of China.
The only explanation for the name African is that it was customary in earlier times to
give newly introduced breeds of poultry exotic names.
The African goose is intermediate in size between the Super African and Brown Chinese.
|
Brown Chinese
 |
These are the smallest of the common domestic geese and are often referred to as Swan Geese
because of their carriage, grace and ancestry.
|
Buff
|
One of only two goose breeds developed in the United States.
They are beautiful, have a pleasant disposition and would make a very nice addition to anyone's flock. |
Canada
 | We offer the
Maxima strain of Canada goose which weighs 9-11 pounds. Many customers have told us it
is the best pet they have ever had - very calm, curious and friendly.
|
Embden
 | The Embden is the exclusive goose breed grown commercially for meat in North America
due to its large size, white feathering and rapid growth.
Most agree that they were originally developed in Germany with subsequent breeding in England.
|
French Toulouse
 | We imported our French Toulouse breeders for meat purposes. They are not an exhibition Toulouse as some have extra white feathers on them,
but they are especially hardy, grow quickly and with a minimum of care, are very calm and highly fertile. Not many people have a Toulouse goose from France! |
Large Dewlap Toulouse
 | This is probably the most rare breed we have. They are large and extremely docile. They do not fully develop their dewlap until their third year.
|
|
Mixed Geese | This is our choice of breeds. We attempt to send several different breeds. |
Pilgrim
 | The Pilgrim breed of goose was developed in the early 1900's in Iowa - one of the few American bred geese. They are reputed to be very calm. A unique characteristic of the Pilgrim goose is that its sex can be determined from its feather color. The males are white with touches of gray. The females look like a Toulouse though they often have white faces.
|
Roman Tufted
 | Roman Tufted are a smaller white goose weighing between 10 and 12 pounds with a small tuft of white feathers on their head. It is a friendly, prolific and noble appearing goose.
|
Sebastopol
 | A flock of Sebastopol is a fascinating sight as no other waterfowl have their curly, twisty feathers. They appear to have originated in Southeastern Europe and are quiet and amiable. We have the largest flock of breeding Sebastopols in North America. |
Super African
 | This is an impressive, regal breed of goose. They are large with a well developed dewlap. In fact, they are probably the first breed of goose to have been selected for dewlaps.
|
Toulouse
 | The Toulouse was originally bred in France and is one of the most common and popular barnyard geese. They are beautiful, prolific and can be grown for meat, too. |
Tufted Buff
 |
The Tufted Buff geese originated from the American Buff geese. Their unique characteristic is a tuft of feathers on the top of their head much like the Tufted Roman goose. It is a breed developed in the United States.
|
Tufted Toulouse
 | A very small percentage of our French Toulouse breeders had tufts. We separated those out and now are breeding a Tufted Toulouse.
|
White Chinese
 | This breed originated in China and is related to all geese with a bump on the top of their beak. Many people prefer using the Chinese geese for weeding due to their smaller size and active nature. Like all geese originating from China, they are more talkative than their American and European based cousins.
