Personally I like welsh harlequins, although I am slightly biased since I breed them, lol. But they are very calm and friendly, and even Metzer has them marked on their comparison chart as the calmest breed alongside jumbo pekins.

Ok, so I ended up with 11 beautiful, all unique looking little seramas. The heaviest was 21.1 grams, the smallest was 12.2.
Dont have pics of each individually yet, but here are a few. All doing great. No crooked toes, no malpositions, no assists. The last one took about 25 hours, but I think she was letting me sleep in this morning.

They are super sweet. Lacie, my adult female, wins over everyone she ever meets. She's been to Petco, convinced several of my friends to try Roman Tufteds, and she is the friendliest bird I own. Here she is:



Goslings are also the cutest babies. They talk back to you when you talk to them

I already have several orders for goslings next spring. If you're in my neck of the woods next spring swing by and I'll give you a couple eggs

Growing up, our neighbors across the street had a couple geese and they were the worst things. Meaner than a bull. They'd even go after your car as you tried to get on the road. Hated those things. All I remember is they were big and white....lol

They are definitely beautiful birds. I loved the sebbies the first time I saw them.

No way, really??!! That would awesome! I would love to try hatching them. She's beautiful!! You always surprise me with your animals. I thought you just had chickens...then dragons...then ducks...now geese. You're amazing! And I'm sure very busy.

@rubynala97
Brag away my friend, I feel the same way.
@pyxis
I would LOVE a pair of your goslings, let's talk next spring

I'll include a pic (hopefully) that's more recent as my Sebastopol babies have feathered out stupendously!

I also hatched some Icelandic and true bantam amaraucana if anyone is interested...

I'll be trying again for some black east indie babies... My 1 of 2 that locked down and I assisted did not make it... I'm not a rookie duck hatcher but this little one gave me a run for my money! Ended up nearly losing all hope, then helped only to witness an exploding bacteria festered umbilical rupture... It was tragic and to have the little thing running around and preening my son just an hour earlier... Thank god it went fast

I'm still looking for peacock eggs and whatever else that's PURE and uncommon.

By the way, anyone local to 10524 NY... I can get Icelandic, bantam amaraucana, bantam buff brahma and possibly silver quilled old English eggs and hatch them for you. Chicks are $10 and under.

Thanks for the mention rubynala97

Enjoy the long weekend!

Great job on that hatch! It went very smooth for shipped. I love them. Adorable babies. Can't wait to see them grow out.
