Sebastopols! And Holderreads has the best. Holderreads does not reccommend handling geese past 2 weeks of age, but they are so like loveable little puppies and very affectionate. 'Peepers', my first sebbie baby, approached 6 months of age and became keeper of the flock and more agressive. He attacked deer, dogs, people, cars, you name it. It was the latter that caused him to meet his demise last month and broke my heart eternally. He was hand raised and handled often. I bought his mate from Holderreads and she is nothing but docile, but I would love it if she'd let me pet her. She is slowly warming up to me though. I've ordered her another mate to arrive next month, adult. I also have 4 babies (2 breeding pair) reserved for next spring. Dave Holderread is the foremost authority on waterfowl in the World. Sebbies run about $55 each as day old goslings plus shipping, but are so uniquely beautiful and worth it in my humble opinion. Let us know what you decide.
