This weekend I got my first Sebastopols! I was originally only going to get a trio, but the seller was moving and wanted them to go to a good home so made me a deal on all 11. They are about 5 months old. Not all have loose feathers, but they're still pretty! The only other goose I have now is...
I have 12+ mixed breed eggs available for testing. Ive never shipped eggs before and would like to practice a bit. I have several roosters and a bunch of hens that are all free range, so I dont know who is fertilizing what. I can ship later this week, on Wednesday or Thursday but can wait...
