    Small non-aggressive goose, friend for a Sebastopol UK

    I have a one year old goose, supposed to be a Sebastopol. Bought the egg from a seller who claimed the parents were both fully curly whites. My goose came out white, but completely smooth. She has bright blue eyes. I dont know if she is a smooth Sebastolpol or an Emden. She has 4 ducks for...

    Have I been scammed?

    Why though? If I'd paid so lot of money maybe but it was peanuts really

    Have I been scammed?

    Grrr, is it a recessive gene then? I was assured both parents were white fully curly

    Have I been scammed?

    I bought x4 goose eggs for not a lot of money £25. I had researched hard and found a seller who was selling eggs and goslings from a large flock of fully curly white Sebastopol geese. I got one successful hatch, easily identifiable as a female from her gosling colouring. She has the striking...

    Goose friend

    I've just come back from a boating holiday ad saw Egyptian Geese for the first time! Would an Egyptian goose get on with aSeb? Quite a size difference!

    Goose aggression

    Yes she's the only goose. Had 4 eggs but she was the only successful hatch. She has bright blue eyes and is supposed to be fully curly. She looks like a normal goose at the moment, is that right for a juvenile Seb?

    Goose aggression

    I have a Sebastopol goose, about 2 months old now, maybe 3. She's become quite aggressive. We have 4 Miniature Silver Appleyard ducks and they are terrified of her. I watched this morning and she nibbled the bolt of their pen and let them out, and then actively chased them. We have one duck...

    Biting goose-mum

    My gosling happily nibbles bites and chews me. I just wondered whether goslings do this to their real bird mum as well. If they do, poor girl!

    3 month old peafowl. Food? UK

    My peafowl hatched in February making them at least 3 months old now. I've read they should be on Game Grower 2 now. Finding this not as simple to buy in the UK as that sounds. Can anyone recommend a feed/brand available in the UK?

    Goose friend

    I have a 10 day old Sebastopol gosling. I'm pretty sure she's a female from her fluff. I read the post about not having lone geese. I'd planned on integrating her with my ducks and peacocks but the article says she'll be unhappy without another goose. If I do decide to get another goose...

    Chick crumb

    I spent hours trying to source gosling food with adequate niacin and drew a blank. I managed to get this from a store. It says it's suitable for waterfowl and specifies goslings. But nothing about niacin. https://glassongrain.co.uk/henergise/chick-crumb/ Spent further hours trying to get hold...

    Have I killed them?

    I got one that hatched. The other didnt make it, but not related to my initial concern

    What duckling is this?

    Saw this beautiful duckling on a review of a feed. What is it? Google lens has suggested Magpie duck? I love the feet and the bill!

    Chick crumb

    I've taken her out onto the grass to have a nibble and a tug, as she does that to everything else, but seems only mildly interested in the lawn. She's eaten picked grass I've given her and some salad leaves as well.
