Is my goose a disabled pilgrim or a sebastopel mix. ?

Hello! I’m new, I have been following the goose posts since becoming a goose mum a s few weeks ago. I bought two pilgrim geese and now they feathered out I’m a bit worried about one of them as there feathers seem to be all ruffled up. I thought at first it might be the angel wing thing, but now I’m wondering if my pilgrim could be a sebastopel mix? Can anyone offer me some guidance here. I don’t mind what they are, I’m just wondering if this is normal feather development for the breed. Or if u should find a vet! Thanks so much x I have attached a couple of pics.

Not a pure Pilgrim. Pilgrim ganders are white, and geese are gray. Very possibly a Sebastopol cross.

Mixed Sebbie, those are definitely a result of the curl gene.

Perrty babies. I dont see any angel wings. which is when the bone in the wing tips up because the feathers are growing faster then the structure of the wing.

I think your looking at curtly feathers. @Strawberry74 has raised a few of them sepys.

Agreed. Mixed. They will be unique for sure! Very pretty!

How old are they?
