I had separated my White Sebastopols from my Grays and Buffs in preparation for the breeding season. Our weather has turned so nasty for so long that I can't maintain the extra pen, and after 3 weeks apart, I put the Whites back in with the group until the weather gets better. I have always had...
If I cross a smooth-breasted Lilac gander with a smooth-breasted Gray Saddleback goose, what do I get? won't some be curly and some be smooth and what colors happen from this cross?
Chicken Obsessed, I worry about the GMO's too. I have tested my geese and ducks by putting organic feed in one dish and GMO feed in another. They always emptied the organic and refused to touch the GMO feed.
THANK you for the info about keeping the smooth-breasted in the flock. I have heard several people who insist on only breeding only the curlies. This gander is my newest addition.

Thanks for these, yes maybe he is a Dilute Blue because he is not as dark as these. What color would I breed him to to get blues? I currently have White, Dimorphic White with beige tail feathers and Saddleback. I probably need to find a color that I don't have, right? lol
He's a funny guy anyway, when I got him he had been the one who sat the eggs at his last home so she thought he was female, then at my house he bonded with a White Sebbie gander. I had him DNA tested to be sure, he is a gander so at least I can be sure of that. So maybe he's a dilute Blue? my...
This boy is much, much, much lighter than a Lavender so if he's that then he's dilute, VERY. The color in the photos IS his color, it's what you see when you look at him except he is not always silvery, often he is beige, much lighter than a Buff of course but definitely beige. It doesn't look...
