Thank you!

We've had such success with our grey Sebs that last year we bought a pair of whites. Well, Louise is playing very, very, very hard to get and refuses to breed at all. I think she watched April go through the torture of sitting on a nest for a month and decide she wants no part of that nonsense...

We're keeping her comfortable until something happens. She seems to be in good spirits. Even as a gosling she used to lay down funny...with one leg stretched out behind her like my dogs sometimes do. Haven't tried pears yet. They get romaine lettuce, spring green mix (most of my veggie garden...

We give her free feed chicken scratch plus pick her tons of grass and give her lettuce and cucumbers. Her wings are now up but it's like they are frozen.... I have a theory that due to that short neck maybe there might be some deformity that wasn't hurting her when she was young. Once she...

Beautiful!!

The little goose in the picture below is having issues. She was a perfectly fine gosling. Then they started growing feathers. You know that stage they get to where their wings become too heavy and they have to always keep hiking them up? She never even tried to. She just let her wings droop...

Blue geese had to be started from some mix of grey/white at first didn't they? I always figured it was white with grey that started the blues. So Bernie and April will always produce greys like themselves? Aprils Mom was white. It doesn't really matter what colour I have, I love them...

Thanks Ruru. If I added a white would the offspring lighten up?

Would mine above be grey, splash or lavender?

I used the good old needle on a thread to tell the sexes. Needle goes in a circle it is a girl, straight back and forth it is a boy. Just like they used to do with pregnant women. It really works...tested it on the dogs and all of the rabbits :) ps. here is a pic. of Bernie and April and the...

Mine go crazy over cucumbers....and Romaine lettuce.

There are two now!

Thank you! The Mom has 4 or 5 more eggs. I would dearly love for the parents to raise them but at this time it isn't possible. We thought everything was super secure but something keeps getting my pigeons and I just can't take a chance. We never had a single egg hatch last year so these guys are...

sooo...now what? I raised my Seb's but they were already eating grass when I got them...a week and a bit old. This is little newer than I'm used to.
