I am not sure who raises whites, they are really rare. I raise brown africans and my main blood line is from roger stanford. It looks like you will have some very nice browns and buffs when they grow upt. The whites might take a little work but its a good start!
I raise show quality brown africans, white sebastopols, silver laced wyandottes and rouens.

Some fresh Chuck and Sarah pics.

They are 10 days old now. They are so cute! They get what I call the 'sillies'. Sarah usually starts it though. She will all the sudden run with her head down and then it sparks Chuck's interest and he dashes after her. Then she stops fast- and then eats or shakes her fake feathers out. LOL They're funny.

Definitely looking forward to seeing more of their antics. Have they met the ducks yet, or are you going to keep them separated?

Going Bonkers, I especially love the last set of before and after.  You need to get those framed side by side.  That move is certainly more impressive with all those wing feathers.

Geese:  Embden, Gray Saddleback Pomeranians

Chickens:  Australorp, Bantam Cochin, Delaware, Buff Orpingtons and Speckled Sussex

Dogs:  Australian Shepherd, Catahoula   Cats:  Tuxedo

Not yet. They will share the coop for as long as they will deal with each other (I assume until Spring) and then we will build them their own little pad. We are using something to separate the goslings from the ducks in the coop though. So they won't be able to bother the goslings. It's for night time only- daytime I imagine geese are too cool to hang with wet messy ducks. :P haha
