Our beautiful goose flock, the giant dewlap toulouse are now separated for breeding purposes so we are able to hatch out some nice quality pure bred birds! Also duck eggs are already in the incubator will hopefully start consistently having ducklings and goslings available!

Hey Againn! 🦆
We would like to introduce our newest addition Dewey!! He is a one year old Large Buff Dewlap Toulouse. We are hoping him and Lucy hit it off. His rare buff coloration makes him very distinctive among Toulouse, because French Toulouse are gray and Large Dewlap Toulouse geese are brown. We are excited to have him! Dewey will take about 3 years to reach full maturity. His breed has one of the lowest fertility rates and its hard to successfully incubate eggs. We believe in Dewey though!

Something cool about Dewey:
Every feature of this placid giant is massive. The bill is stout, the head large and broad, and the moderately long neck is thick and nearly straight. Often suspended from the lower bill and upper neck is a heavy, folded dewlap that increases in size and fullness with age. The body is long, broad and deep, ending in a well-spread tail that points up slightly. They have a rounded breast, and often exhibit a wide keel. The abdomen is double-lobed and often brushes the ground, particularly in females during the early spring. When Dewlap Toulouse are relaxed, their carriage is nearly horizontal. The Toulouse goose comes in two color varieties. Most common is the Grey Toulouse, which was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874. The Buff variety was admitted to the standard in 1977.

Hello and Welcome to our page! Thank you for adding us! If you don’t know us personally, here is a little bit about us! We are a husband and wife, that have been married almost 10 years. We have two kids and settled down in Stillwater NJ. Starting a Hatchery and running a FB page are both new to us, but we are really excited to start this journey. So bare with us! We got into ducks a couple of years ago. Our passion grew, and we fell in love with geese/ducks after saving geese from an auction awhile back. Their personalities drew us in and we have been hooked! Since then we have researched so many rare breeds, and want to help educate others and hatch the rare breeds to give them a chance! This year we’re focusing on getting the best breeding groups lined up, so that next year we will be able to offer them to those interested. We are focused on preserving rare heritage breeds; such as Dutch Hook Bills, Indian Runners, Large Dewalp Toulouse and Sebastopol Geese. Thanks for taking the time to visit The Quack House Hatchery page, and we look forward to sharing every step of the way with you through photos, facts, and videos!
