Sebastopol Geese Thread !!!!!!!!!! SHOW YOUR PICS !!!!!!!!!!

[AmandaVirginia]

Here is this year's goslings. lol Hardly babies any more : )

Kim, I just spoke with you through email! What a small world! I love your sebastopol geese, I hope I can wait another half a year for eggs! It looks like I'm going to have to because I decided I wanted to hatch a pair after the breeding season and nobody seems to be getting eggs anymore or have babies (; How much do yours weigh? Are they friendly with your family and dogs? Those two are the most important two things for me! It's such a blessing we live so close to each other!

Hi Mandy -- yes I figured it was you. lol
Sebastopols are generally pretty easy going as geese go and like people. Breeding season is a whole nother story and they generally do not care for dogs. They are smart enough to have individual personalities and even strains within a breed can vary. Here's a video of them with
their watermelon treat:

Hi, I just purchased 2 Sebastopol goose eggs for hatching. At 20 dollars an egg I couldn't get more then 2. I really want them to hatcb but this is my first time with goose eggs. I have hatched duck and chicken eggs. Any help and tips would be much appreciated.. thanks.

Who did you get them from. They shouldn't be laying this time of year...

Yeah that's what the seller said was usual but that her geese were laying late this year. She had over 1000 reviews of good feedback. I would be more leary if it was a new seller.. guess I got lucky.

I would be concerned they are not fertile.

Hello Millerchild,
I have my first Sebbie and that I hatched in my new incubator. The other egg didn't develop . He, I think, is 2 months old. I am wondering how to sex him and when do their feathers begin to fluff out? As of now there isn't any sign of the feathers curling?
Thanks, seabass
