Quote: With my Sebastopols I would say yes. Doesn't work for everything though. One thing I have seen is pictures of gosling heads with very narrow, shallow, wedge shaped heads. I can't see heads like that turning out big and wide and round but different lines in a breed can start out and...

Interesting color. Do you have lavender Muscovy ducks or Guineas too?

Beautiful birds. Have never seen the lavenders before.

Quote: Jenifer Krause, your birds are beautiful and I am so glad to be able to see them. They make a very good argument in favor of purchasing quality adults from good breeders instead of scattering your shot with a group of babies who might not be worth breeding from for someone who wants...

Thought I'd add something about my own experiences getting started with the birds I wanted from those who had what I liked. I have had to be patient and get adults like I have said. No choice about getting day olds. Not an option. Sometimes a very good start was gotten but after a season or more...

jojo@rolling acres farm : Very nice! Love the pics! Besides the pretty feathers - love the look of the heads & necks on your birds. Yes, me too.

Quote: I was not going to post again, but feel I need to. I also threw out a lot of eggs-could have sold them in a minute! From experience I now know that many early in the year laid eggs (from my climate) are going to be weak gosling, and I only send out later laid eggs to a few people...

Quote: Thanks hun. I even had a woman who came on to BYC looking for Sebbies contact me. She wanted a 100% guarantee that any Sebbies she bought from me would be curly. I told her that no one could give her that guarantee. She told me that yes they could. The she had Sebbies (that...

I mentioned something along these lines in connection with someone who started out their post saying they wanted to get Sebastopols and wondered which colors were the most popular because they wanted to sell eggs and goslings. I've done the same thing as Golden Valley. Gone to the internet and...
