Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Thank Ruru but I am going to sell the baby geese. I'm not happy with the 8 month old boys because they have now kicked out the male sebbie and that's just acceptable.... I didn't expect any eggs last year since the geese were so young. The male sebbie couldn't quite figure out how mating was... -
Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Ok, I get you. I can see what you mean. If I were to breed for a different color then I would be better off with something like an American Buff since the characteristics are closer to the Sebastopol then an African. Luckily my African has a very small dulap and not such a huge knob, thankfully... -

Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Why is this not recommended? I didn't breed them they free range during the day and are penned together at night. It just so happened that the young male found the African attractive. All the adults but 1 are 1 1/2 yrs old. I didn't realize the African geese lay more often then the Sebbies. My... -

Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Here are pictures of what they look like right now. I wish I could have gotten better pictures. The first bird looks a bit gray but in fact he's pure white and so are the others only with splash of colors. They wouldn't stay still this morning when I was trying to take pictures. -
Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Thank you everyone. Yes, that helps a lot. Ok, my next question is. How do you get pure breed Sebastopols that have color? I thought they are all white. How do they pick up color? I find all this so interesting. The geese in the beginning of this thread almost look like American Buffs or... -
Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement
Hi, this thread is just what I was looking for. My male sebastopol mated with my African goose and I hatched out some very pretty "splash" geese. They are around 8 months old now. Are they considered Sebastopols or are they a mix? I'm trying to upload pictures but I don't know what's... -
Peachick help needed.
Hi everyone, Sad to say the peachick just died. I have no idea what was wrong with it. I had been tube feeding it and it seemed to help for a while. Tonight I came home and found that it was leaking flem (looked like clear snot) from it's mouth. I noticed yesterday the peachick was going... -
Peachick help needed.
Thank for all the info Casportpony. No way of getting to a vet. The poop was brown this morning and wet. Thicker then water so I figured it was not to bad. I did add Duramycin to the water. The chick is looking a bit better today and I have to say it loves grapes.... lol. I put the powdered... -
Peachick help needed.
Thanks, I will definitely keep that one in mind. I doubt it poison though. -
Peachick help needed.
Thank you New 2 Peafowl. This bird is actually my friends bird but I will care for it. It is with chickens but not very much. It does eat grass I'm sure. No other symptoms. I know what blackhead is and one of the reasons I started the Metronidazole with Praziquantel. The bird looks fine other... -
Peachick help needed.
I have a peachick that is about 3 months old. At 1 month old I saved it from drowning in a horses water bucket. It stunted growth a bit but it's been doing fine. I was shocked when I realized it was a live and gave it mouth to beak after I shook the water out of it. Now it's doing something... -
What kind of duck is this?
I would imagine a barnyard mix but if it were Cayuga wouldn't it have at least beetle green colors in her feathers? She's just plain black ALL over...... lol. She's a nice duck and a bit bossy once in a while. ha! thanks. -
I rescued a hen beginning of August with a horrific, moldy, gangrenous wound...*Graphic photos! and
Well done! I find chickens to be amazing animals. I too have seen some pretty bad wounds that were not to far off from what you had and they too healed. Who would have ever thought? Don't under estimate the healing of a chicken..... EVER! They will surprise you.- crj
