Sebastopol and Toulouse
Sebastopol geese are a smaller, ornamental variety maturing at around 12 to 14 pounds. While the traditional white bird is well known, they do come in an array of colors and patterns (learn more). Because of their beautiful feathers, the fully curly birds are flightless and the smooth breasted birds have limited flying ability. Mature females lay an average of 35-50 eggs per year. Their curls can get in the way of successful mating and thus have decreased fertility as compared to other goose breeds. As a result, the Livestock Conservancy identifies Sebastopol geese as a threatened species.
French Toulouse (production variety) geese are a large, maturing at around 15-18 pounds. The traditional French Toulouse is a soft grey with white rump. Mature females lay an average of 35-50 eggs per year. While they have the ability to fly, Toulouse are content remaining on the homestead with their flock mates.
Both breeds can be used for meat, eggs, and show. With a lifespan of up to 25 years and a docile, friendly nature, Sebastopol and Toulouse geese also make excellent pets. Geese are foragers and need steady access to grass or other greens throughout the day. While they do enjoy a splash in the water to keep themselves clean, a small wading pool can more than enough to keep these breeds happy.
Our Flock
Our breeding program focuses on Sebastopol and French Toulouse (production variety) geese, though we occasionally dabble in other breeds.
Our geese are seasonal layers and typically lay during late winter to early spring, though we've also been surprised by eggs in the late fall. We pen breed pairs and trios to maintain focus on different attributes of our breeding birds.
Our Sebastopol have the potential to produce curly breasted goslings with shades of blue (blue, lilac; lavender, cream), buff, grey, or white coloring expressed in a solid or pied (saddleback or splash) pattern with curly breasted feathering (full-body curl except for head and neck).
Our French Toulouse have the potential to produce grey goslings with and without a crest/tuft on their heads.
For 2026, those not selected for pen breeding were allowed to love who they love, resulting in barn yard mix goslings that may be any combination of: color carrying smooth breasted Sebastapol, French Toulouse, and/or a grey saddleback Toulouse x White Chinese.
Available Geese
While they will bond with other poultry, geese are often best suited in a flock that includes at least one other goose. For that reason, we will only sell a single bird to homes that already have at least one goose (any breed/gender combination); all others are subject to a 2-bird minimum purchase.
When available, we offer three general age categories: 1) Gosling (hatch through 3 weeks of age) - Goslings are offered straight-run only with no guarantee of feather color/pattern. Goslings may require a supplemental heat source.
2) Juvenile (4 weeks to 4 months of age) - Juveniles may be offered as straight run or vent sexed with no guarantee of feather color/pattern.
3) Adult (4+ months of age) - Adults are fully feathered and vent sexed.
While we can make an educated guess regarding a bird's potential, we cannot guarantee a particular color/pattern combination for birds that are not fully feathered (approximately 2-3 months of age).
Note: The combination of bird breed, color and gender is subject to availability at time of inquiry.
Based on current availability, our sexed birds may be sold in pairs (one male and one female) or single males (1+). As of August 2026, trios are unavailable.
Available birds can be picked up locally in Staunton, VA. We do not ship or provide a transport service for birds. Buyers may choose to coordinate transportation to anywhere in the U.S. with a livestock transportation company/hauler. The buyer is responsible for sourcing the transporter, though we will work with the selected transporter to arrange pickup.
Please see our Terms and Conditions page for information on reserving birds or hatching eggs, examples of the three different feather types our birds may produce, our guarantee on sexed birds, and more!
With numerous available geese amongst our main flock, it is currently not feasible to gather individual photos of all available birds. Below are examples of some of our 2026 juveniles.
