Thank you for your replies, I have spoken to our vet this afternoon and he thinks he had eaten something sharp. We have had building work going on and think maybe something was dropped near the field and as they are so inquisitive maybe that's what happened. Unfortunately a bit late for me to do...

Hi no I don't think so, they have all got along together really well even when they were shut indoors last winter because of bird flu risk they were all well behaved. I'm wondering if he had eaten something sharp.

I have just found my two year old Sebastopol gander dead when opening the shed this morning, he was bleeding from his nose and mouth and no other sign if injury, he was find yesterday evening he lives with the flock he hatched with and his parents five females and he was one of three boys...

I have six sebastapol females and two males all together and the oldest male has just started getting aggressive and running at me when out in the field it's because sebastapol geese are early layers from Feb and breed earlier than some geese so guess it's his protective side coming out!

Hi many thanks, i am more confused about the 1st photo ive just added as i have read that females sebs have saddle shape and they both have so i thought they both girls where as the little photo had a very pale gosling which i assume is a boy?
