Geese for a first timer.

[Simpson Farm]

I am new to geese so I could use all the information possible. I was thinking about purchasing some Sebastopol geese this spring. I've read that they have something like the frizzle gene in chickens. In chickens it's not recommended to breed two frizzle because you will get a bird with brittle feathers. Does this apply to these geese? And if so how would I go about breeding them.


Thanks in advance for all the help.
