Here are updated pictures of my blue saddlebacks.... uh..., buff saddlebacks???
Interestingly, I drove to Missouri to get six goslings in hopes of getting a couple lavendar ones, and hopefully a curly buff saddleback to breed with my split to buff gander so that I could breed for curly buff saddlebacks. When my goslings feathered out to be blue saddlebacks I was OK with that because they were so pretty. Now, my blue saddlebacks are changing colors. It looks like I'm back on track with my plan to breed for curly buff saddlebacks. I'm so confused!
1) Blue cheek saddleback. The blue color is slowly changing from blue to buff. Notice even the cheek color is giving way to buff.
2) Blue back saddleback. Notice the tail section has already changed to buff. I'm assuming the rest will follow suit.
3) Spotted buff. Same as above, everywhere that used to be blue is changing to buff. One thing interesting about this one is the black spot on the neck. I haven't noticed that before but will have to see if it's dirt or feathers. If it's feathers it would indicate that this one is a saddleback gene carrier.
4) This one is the most interesting one to me. She was solid white until just recently. Now her tail and back is turning buff.
Something else interesting about her is that she has two black feathers on her back that suggest she is also a saddleback gene carrier. The picture has a lot of glare but it's the two feathers closest to my hand.
Sebastopol geese are lots of fun because aside from being so pretty and friendly they keep you in suspense with regards to their sex and color.
I gotta have pics of those!!!!
