Geese question

[Nao57]

So I wanted to ask which geese breeds are calmest and quietest?

This seems fun to learn about also.

They are interesting.

The efficiency of being able to feed them at nearly no cost seems very interesting to me, especially given that there's a lot of instability in the markets and the country.

(I had also wondered if there's a way to have them in city limits, in an urban neighborhood also? But I put that question on another forum.)

Pilgrim geese are very quiet and non-aggressive. They can also be sexed by color. Males are white, females grey.

It is difficult to tease the facts from the romance in the origin of the Pilgrim goose. Popularly thought to have come to America with the pilgrims, the Pilgrim goose, as we know it, is a recently developed breed.

Thank you very much.

Do you that means its possible to raise them in a backyard that's inside city limits?

They sound wonderful.

Thanks.

Buffs and Pilgrims are the calmest geese in my experience.

The production Toulouse geese are also pretty calm. They are also better broodies than more common breed. Buff and cotton patch geese are also comparatively better mom's, but they are smaller than Toulouse.

I wouldn't advice you to raise them in city. Even the quietest breed will get loud for the city authorities comfort during the breeding season.
