Quote: Grazing is always the best and mine would rather be grazing than standing at the food dish. I am very fortunate to be able to allow mine to be loose all the time. At night they go into pens by themselves and wait to be let out the next day. My Great Pyr , Moose keeps everyone safe. I...

Sometimes their feathers can grow in goofy,but as long as the wing is laying flat against the body there is not a problem. Sebastopol geese are prone to wing defects due to mutated feathers. I have some 4 and 5 year olds with perfect wings and others can have 1 wing effected by twisted wing tip...

This one looks to be a smooth breasted bird. Should have lots of curly on their back and thighs. There is a picture of one of my smooth breasted birds on this thread, not sure which page. To me they can be just as pretty as the curly breasted.

They are still babies and unless they are smooth breasted they should get curly and by fall they should be fully feathered. Your off to a good start with the head on the second picture and may continue to get rounder and larger with age.

Quote: I understand that they look pretty naked now and so do mine. You can wait until later one. I have Great Pyrs and the geese actually pull the hair out of Moose my male. They grab and tug on his ears to and he lets them.

Quote: Please post some pictures to. I am in Western Kansas and they are having new growth now.

Quote: I wish there was a color chart for Sebs-ALTHOUGH I believe there are many subtle variations within color types. I'm also finding my birds can have a subtle color change over the seasons. The lavender is very nice. You are very right with that. I have a variation with the some grays...

By the way 1lpoock your ducks are beautiful . I have a friend that has a pair of Mandarins for me and I currently have 21 little Wood ducks. I have 2 pair that are loose and come home to eat. I sure love having them walking around. I can't wait to get the Mandarins. I also have a pair of Silver...

If they have feathers sticking up around their shoulders they should be curly. The smooth breasted babies shoulder feathers at that age are lying flat against the shoulders. You sure could post some pictures. The lavender baby above the turkey is a curly baby if that helps you some to.

Quote: No Hillside I don't have any Muscovy's, I have guineas but no lavenders.

This is Herbie , one of my Lavender Turkeys.

This is a Lavender curly sebastopol baby and to show the same color this is my Lavender Turkey Herbie.

Quote: Thank you Hillside.

Quote: This looks to be a Smooth breasted Buff baby. I have a lavender youngster about the same age as yours and I will post a picture. Have to take it first.LOL

Quote: Beautiful wide draping feathers, those are thing I look for , would love to see him as he gets his feathers this fall. Thank you.

This is one of my Buff females, she is smooth breasted. Pictures were take 9-4-09 so she still has more feather growing to do. Mine usually are finished by Halloween.

jojo@rolling acres farm : Jennifer: Again, a real "treat" for us - thanks for sharing these wonderful photos. Until today, I haven't been real interested in the colored Sebbies. Your birds have started me thinking along those lines. I'm not sure that's a good thing...or a bad thing....!! Do...

Found another white group and these are adult feathers. I am so looking forward to this fall when they get their new feather.

This is one of my Lavender Saddlebacks and she is a smooth breasted.

That funny , this was a girl year for me to.
