Hilarious image! :D

She definitely has the coloring similar to the Greylag, but doesn't seem so long and lean from what I could compare to googled pics. My guess is as good as anyones! I wasn't familiar with the Greylag, so thank you for helping me figure out what she could be. ETA: This pic of production...

Looks like a little Ewok! Love it! :D

Update: I tried to get a pic of the stray goose with the Sebbies, but can't get the angle from inside the house. (It's freezing outside and I'm not going out! I've got old lady bones! ;) ) I feel badly for hijacking this thread, but I'm positive it was our Sebbies that lured her to us, so it...

Yikes! I did not realize racoons would go for geese! Glad you caught it.

Trying to lure her (or is it a him?...I'm really not sure, just leaning "she") with a dish of our goose feed on our property edge. All I have is celery top for greens (anything else that may be semi-appetizing is in the freezer). With the Noreaster just starting here, everything will be...

I am dying over here! There is a stray goose (Toulouse) that is making googly eyes at our Sebbies! (None of my neighbors have livestock of any kind.) He/she walked across the farm field earlier this morning, but when we went out to catch her, she flew away. And by flew, it was like watching...

You all touched on how I feel. These geese are such a joy and full of personality. However, when breeding season comes along, we are going to be in a world of hurt when their hormones kick in. We had placed ads for the extra boys. It won't hurt to repost the ads for a few more months and see...

We have too many ganders this year for our little farm, and my husband suggested putting the extra Sebbie males into freezer camp. (Gasp!) Reality is what it is. We don't keep extra ducks or chickens, what makes the geese any different? They just are different! :( So, the question begs...

So sad. I am sorry for the loss of your pretty chicken. I completely agree that Sebbies are ultra hardy and yours will come through just fine. Our young Seb was attacked by a fox and had it's neck and chest ripped wide open. There wasn't enough skin to stitch him back together, so we could...

I am going to test out pulling feathers on one or two ganders. What is the next step if the new feathers grow in the same way? Can we expect that possibility?

I love the raised beds ya'll have! It's the only way I will garden anymore. It is so much easier to maintain, water, weed, crop rotate, etc. My poultry are not allowed anywhere near my garden...I wouldn't have anything left by the time they were done with it! We have 26 beds and too many...

Can the Sebbies with twisted wing be shown? Also, how do you go about pulling the feathers? All at once? A few feathers each day? I have a few goslings that have pulled their own feathers out and they bled a ton (the wing feathers are just so full of blood right now). Would pulling the...

I have a few young ganders for sale...and may part with a female. We are about a 3.5 hour drive from the Upper Valley (my hometown area). PM me.

We adore our Sebbies. After hatching, we raise them for a few months inside before putting them with the rest of the flock. We take them outside on little jaunts so they can forage and get fresh air and sunshine. It still amazes me how quickly the adult geese welcome the little ones. We have...

pips&peeps : Vicky, All fathered by Saffron. The bigger one in the far back right has a different mommy. (ETA that one is a bit darker in real life) Three girls and one boy? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/5845_boys_or_girls.jpg Time to clean the box too..... I wasn't...

Quote: I just looked at these pictures and didn't recall posting them! Yours look just like some of the pics I took of our Sebbie goslings! I'm going to miss this baby stage! Great pics!

pips&peeps : Another one has pipped and is resting. I hope by tomorrow night to have #3. Is this all from the big batch you set? It is time already? That was a fast hatch! The 2 goslings I hatched from your eggs Jean are some of the best pets I've ever owned. They help me weed my garden...

Quote: The darker ones are the females. If you can take a pic we can help you out. Look at Balbinka's goslings above...both girls! Cute goslings, great pictures Balbinka!

Quote: Awww. That is such a sweet pic!
