Our flock

Geese, goslings and hatching eggs

Three beautiful goose breeds, our Bresse chickens, and a happy mixed flock of ducks and hens. Every egg is gathered here and every gosling is raised here, right on the place.

Our geese

We keep three breeds, each one a favorite for its own reasons, and we're delighted to share both hatching eggs and goslings from all of them.

We are currently assembling our 2027 waiting list for eggs and goslings. Eggs will be offered for shipping as well as pickup. Goslings are pickup only. To save your spot, simply add your name to our wait list.

Sebastopol

Those long, curling, ribbon-soft feathers are simply enchanting. Gentle, sociable birds, and an absolute picture out on the water.

Embden

Big, bright white and wonderfully sturdy, the classic farmyard goose, and the one everyone pictures when they imagine a flock.

Toulouse

Handsome grey birds with the sweetest, most easygoing natures. Devoted mothers and lovely, reliable setters.

A note about our goslings: we let them grow a little before they go home with you. Goslings leave here started: up on their feet, eating well and strong enough to settle happily into your flock. If you'd love to raise them from the very beginning, hatching eggs are just the thing.

Before you set your eggs

Both guides →

If this is your first hatch, how exciting! Our free guides walk you through everything that makes the difference: holding a steady temperature, getting the humidity just right, turning on schedule, and the patience that pays off once the chicks begin to pip.

Fresh eggs collected here hatch beautifully, in the range of 80–90%. Shipped eggs come in a little lower for everyone. It's simply the nature of travel, and worth knowing as you plan.

Raised with love

Our goslings grow up being held, cuddled and fussed over every single day. Sweet, gentle temperaments start right here, in little arms on the grass.
