Quote: Sure, but only if you'll give a written guarantee that it will absolutely definitely hatch - no matter how badly I mess up the incubation - and that the resulting gosling will be a superb exhibition quality Sebbie Oh, and I want a money back guarantee to boot...... OOOHHHH yeah...

Quote: sometimes people sell them on the auction sites and they can go for that, or you could find someone local that sells them cheaper.

I have some that are bare now and some that are starting to grow some long ones back in......hopefully they will stay put this time so I can do some more shows. Found a goose egg in the goose house today. It has been 2 weeks since I found one....yippie! Does anyone want to buy 1 Sebastopol...

Quote: Well, I would be more than happy to take some of your girls off your hands.....LOL

I am not having any luck this year. I am hatching one gosling every 2-3 weeks and have to find somewhere to put them until they can go together outside. They are so much bigger than call ducks.....LOL Anyways....another female.....I really need a new male!!! sure wish I had the female luck...

Jennifer, We know Dave, really nice guy. my husband has spent hours on the phone with him talking about geese. We love to pick his brain.

I didn't get to see the picture. ....so i have to do something with the link? Won't open in google, but I am a little slow around computers sometimes

but, if you do buy goslings or young birds, you could end up with a really nice bird that wouldn't be for sale as a adult. I don't sell SQ sebastopols.....they are few and far between.....but that is a different story on the chickens and ducks.

glad the hens are still laying for you....are you hatching any? Ours are still laying, but the call duck hatching is slow. Didn't hatch many goslings this year either. The chickens have been paying the feed bill this year, not the geese that's for sure. Fertility was horrible on the geese...

Quote: mine have all lost their feathers so they are looking soooo bad right now. I hate to lock them up to keep them show ready, but I might have to pull a couple this year. I had some entered in a show last year and decided not to take them after all the mating and chasing.....feathers...

got one more cash crop hatching now....LOL..... sure hope this one is a boy. This is the year of the girls.

some of my geese have "off" years for feathering and I know last year was strange because they started breeding during show season and that doens't usually happen.....all my nice long feathers were gone before I knew it. As far as the heads.....I like them to look like the call duck heads. Big...

we give it because it seems to help with the feathering on our show birds....same with the sunflower seeds and oats. I will have to look into buying plain "fish meal", but they love the cat food...... We also sprinkle the feed with some dried kelp. Really helps the ducklings and goslings get...

I don't know about everyone else, but even though the geese free-range on the pasture they still eat a ton of food. We also buy wheat and sunflower seed to mix in along with a couple handfulls of cat food with fish meal......isn't cheap.

Heck, regardless of how much money we bring in from sales it is never enough. We are always dipping into "our" money to pay for feed.

I grew out 13 of my goslings last year and I only had took 2 I would take to a show with me...... It is a very slow process to build a nice flock. They take up a lot of room and eat a lot of feed in the fall and winter. This year I hatched 6 goslings so far out of my breeders.....6 hens and 3...
