sebastopol

So our Sebastopol who’s 3 months old hurt her wing on Tuesday getting out of the little pool since she fell in without meaning to. There was one feather down which was causing her some pain when I moved it up but when I got back home on Friday it had disappeared and my mum said that since it...

Hi guys! One of our goslings took a tumble into the little paddling pool as she’s quite clumsy and really hurt her wing getting out 😢 she can move it but there’s an awkwardly placed feather that seems to be very painful for her when I touch it and her squeals sound quite hoarse so I’m very...

Hello everyone, My husband recently asked if we could expand our flock of geese to include some Pomeranian and Sebastopol goslings. Of course, I had no problem accepting his request. I went on a 10 hour round-trip journey yesterday to acquire both breeds of goslings from two separate breeders...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the coloring of my sebastopol goslings? I have three sebastopol geese, a white gander, a white goose and a grey goose. They have hatched out 8 goslings so far and I plan on selling them but I don't want to label them as being a color they aren't and...

I have a white goose (Sebastopol) who was sold as a lavender gosling to her previous owner. She ended up feathering out white. Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...

I have a trio of Sebastopol, all around 4 years old, that I purchased last year. This isn’t my first year keeping geese, but it is my first year breeding them. One of the ladies started laying February 19, the other started March 1; they were laying sporadically at first, but after a couple of...

I just wanted to know out of Sebastopol geese, Pilgrim or Embden. I want a breed that are really friendly (and i know you have to handle them a lot as goslings to achieve that). I’d also like a breed that are really loyal and attached to me. Any suggestions?

So my lady goose has made herself a nest right up by our house and I was thrilled but, we have lots of predators (mainly raccoons and foxes) and she absolutely can’t go broody there. We’ve been taking her eggs everyday to prevent her from going broody and we’ve been considering making her a...

I have a trio of Sebastopol who are all 3-4 years old; this is my first season with them. My one girl, Anastasia, started laying about 2 weeks ago, and I got an egg from her on the 17, 19, and 24. The weather has been weird, so I think it’s throwing her off. I thought my other girl, Dolly, laid...

My Sebastopol boy!

One of our hens hatched Sunshine in April from an egg I bought from an area farmer. He lived in the house for weeks until the weather was warm enough for him to be outside. We held him, talked to him, and every night, he sat on my husband’s lap while he watched TV. I have read that Sebastopols...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for any advice that I can get. I have two female Sebastopols, one 5 yrs. old, one 1 yr. old. Their mate (5 yrs. old), died three months ago from a sudden illness that lasted only 2 days. The younger female showed similar symptoms a couple weeks or so before the gander...

It's been months of trying and failing, but I FINALLY got a Sebastopol, and will be getting 2 more in the next month or so! :celebrateSpring babies here I come. My new goose is approximately 3, has a thick neck, gorgeous domed head, and so far seems like the sweetest girl (I was worried getting...

Hi, I have 4, 2 week old Goslings that I need help identifying. 3 who I assume are Toulouse however I thought they had black Bill's as babies, mine seem to have pinkish gray bills and feet. The other has a pink bill and feet. These are the possible crosses since I bought the eggs and hatched...

Hello. I recently took in two 4 day old sebastopols and theyre doing great overall. However, Bill has curled toes and i was wondering how bad its going to affect him as he grows or gets older? He gets around just as well as his brother Ted, but does seem to be a tad bit more clumsy. I know...

Hi everyone! My 5-yr-old Sebastopol gander started acting sick yesterday. All he wanted to do was stand in front of his water bucket and drink. As far as I know, he didn't eat anything yesterday. (He's been pooping only water.) He could walk, but was pretty unsteady. Got into (and out of) the...

I finally have room to get myself the Sebastopols I have been wanting for years! :celebrate Unfortunately it seems there are quite the waiting lists from most hatcheries, and the quality standard isn't the same as what is found from most breeders, so I'm on the hunt. I'm either looking for 3-5...

I finally found a goose! I’ve been religiously snooping on Craigslist, and one finally popped up that seemed too good to be true. I’ve been looking for a single female goose for ages now, and now I finally found one :celebrate She’s a stunning 10 month old Sebastopol, who is going to be the mate...

So I recently baught a farm and am just starting out on several flocks. I have listed my preference, but will consider anything. I just got a GQF cabinet for my birthday. I am willing to hatch eggs or buy live birds. Let me know what you have. I am wanting: Peafowl Call Ducks Guinea Geese...
