Help!! Sexing Sebastopol geese.

[kimmee12]

Are they from white or coloured parents? I see some black on one beak. I have heard that if their parents have color that could make the goslings impossible to sex without venting.

Hi , yes the parents are pure white the first two in this photo with their last year goslings at the rear, i was surprised at the one with the black beak. Im new to this so thank you for your advice!

They are beautiful! That black beak throws me off a little tho!

Thank you , yes im confused about the black beak, the two i hatched last year were both yellow and dark grey saddle shape on their backs and are both laying so obviously female but the different shades from these goslings have thrown me too. I dont know the history of parents as my dayghter bought them for my birthday all i know are they are unrelated three year olds now. I would like to keep some of the babies but not sure i want another gander as i have runner ducks too and only have a couple of acres.

I have a sebbi that hatched this morning can't tell if it's male or female there is also a possibility it's a saddle back
