Congrats on the sebbie!!!! They are hard to hatch. I guess that's why they're so rare. I don't know about the color. What color were you expecting? The pic is somewhat blurry. You can sometimes tell from the bill what color it could possibly be but not always. If it is a saddleback or saddleback carrier it will have black at the base of the bill. Gray & blues have dark bills. Buffs and lavendars have pale colored bills. Whites I believe are for the most part yellowish. Gracie may have a better idea since she has experience with them.
In the white goslings, you can distinguish between male and female sometimes at birth because the females will have a much darker cap and back than the males. But without having another one for comparison makes it difficult to tell the difference.
In any case, the color will show through in a few weeks. Have fun with it!!!!
