Hello-
I am looking at buying goslings from Sandhill preservation, 3 each of Buff American and Pilgrim ( they only sell straight run, so who knows what I actually get). My intention is to hopefully end up with a pair or trio of each. My concern is that there is a chance they could be siblings or very closely related. Do most people buy stock from multiple sources at the same time in order to get more genetic diversity? I was thinking I could order from Metzer about the same time and mark them so I could pair them off when the time comes.
