toulouse or american buff...how to tell? (Geese)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

Hello again...on 4/23 a shipment of baby goslings are coming to the feed store... I have 3 ordered goslings, two toulouse and one American Buff.... how do I tell the difference when going to pick them out of the bunch? Is it obvious? Color differences? I forgot to tell them to color mark them, so I hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Hi Michele, did you get your geese? I hope you were able to tell what you ordered. The toulouse and african are very similar. 2 yrs ago I thought I had 2 toulouse but ended up with one of each. They are pretty knowledgeable at my local feed store, so ask around till you find someone that knows. I bought 2 african geese last week, so if that will help I can send you a pic. I'm not familiar with the am. buff, so can't help you there.
