Sebastian and Questions Regarding Standards for Sebastopol Geese

[Lamar Estate]

Not that I'd love Sebastian any more or less, but should he have orange around his eyes instead of faint yellow? Is his breast feathers curly enough? Some of his flight feathers are stiff. I'm sure his tuft doesn't make it any better.


Sebastian last summer, age 3 1/2 months old (before his long feathers grew).




My husband, in need of a major beard trimming and not looking amused, with Sebastian.

Anyone able and willing to reply to my inquiry? I already know that he's a "pet quality" goose, so no need to worry about making my feelings hurt.

Thanks,
Amanda

The standard does call for orange beaks, legs and feet but since your gander has a tuft he is most likely carrying traits of another breed as well.
Over all his feathering could be longer ideally but depends on when you took your photo. Sebastopols are typically in their prime feather wise after they regrow their feathers
in the fall. He looks like a much beloved pet and he is just adorable so i wouldn't be concerned that hes not show quality.
