    ISO female Sebastopol goose in VT

    Thanks so much for your reply! I'll definitely keep that in mind. My gander lost his mate, and I'm looking to replace her. I'd like to find a goose this year if possible, but it's proving harder than I thought. Thanks again for the info!

    I have ducks should I get geese?

    This is such a great topic! I’ve been navigating the goose/duck thing for a couple years now, since I added Welsh Harlequins to my goose yard. Cecelia, your run sounds amazing, especially your large pond! My Sebastopols don’t have a pond, but they enjoy their kiddie pools. I have one pair of...

    ISO female Sebastopol goose in VT

    I’m looking for a breeding-quality female Sebastopol, preferably adult, but I may consider a gosling/two goslings or a juvenile. Looking for a fully curly: white, grey, or grey saddleback. May consider a splash if parentage is known. Located in VT only.

    Pure white Sebastopol genetics

    Thanks very much, I appreciate your help! I have very little experience myself. I'm just trying to figure it out--what can be figured out, anyway. :) Genetics are so fascinating.

    Pure white Sebastopol genetics

    This thread was helpful to me too!! I currently have a pair of whites, and I have a lot of questions about the whole color-carrying thing. I hope this is a good place to ask a couple of them! I've heard that any amount of gray on a white Sebastopol (presumably an adult and not a juvenile) is a...

    Selling Day-olds in VT - 6 minimum?

    Thanks! I tried to look it up on the VT agriculture website, but so far haven’t gotten anywhere. I’m hoping that if it is a law, it doesn’t apply to breeders. Thanks for your help!

    Selling Day-olds in VT - 6 minimum?

    Can anyone tell me whether Vermont really has a law that says one cannot sell less than 6 chicks/ducklings/etc.? I’m considering hatching ducklings to sell as day-olds next spring, and I need to know if this law exists and whether it would apply to me. Or is this a Federal law? Thanks for...

    Are Geese Underrated?

    It’s true, there does seem to be a lack of books on keeping geese! My first book on them was “Keeping Geese: Breeds and Management” by Chris Ashton. She’s British, so not all the recommendations for feed/medication are quite relevant. I love the book, though! Great info. There’s another book by...

    Head Tremors, Not Acting Himself

    Cool! I have some fresh and some frozen blueberries. Maybe I’ll toss a few in their water bucket or in with their lettuce treat and see what happens....

    Head Tremors, Not Acting Himself

    Thanks so much for sharing! Those things are good to know. I have no idea whether my gander would eat blueberries or not, but maybe I’ll try it! Thanks very much for the good wishes.

    Head Tremors, Not Acting Himself

    Thanks! I'm glad your gander got better! It is really weird when one goose acts unwell and the other is fine. At the moment, my gander, Ivan, is still moving/eating almost like normal. @Goosebaby mentioned kidney problems/gout earlier in this thread. I strongly suspect that my gander had gout...

    Head Tremors, Not Acting Himself

    Hello, I know this thread is older, but I wanted to reply to it because I have a gander who is by all appearances doing the exact same thing! Firstly, it’s wonderful that your Bailey got better! Would you be willing to share what “treatment” you did for him? Or did he just get better on his...
