Pics of Our Six Week Sebbie Kids

[Enchanted Sunrise Farms]

Our oldest group is now almost six-weeks-old and getting big! i have them sleeping outside (finally) in our adult's old playhouse coop. i've been putting food and water in with them, but they make such a huge mess each night i'm pondering not doing that.

Anyhow, i have no idea what color they will be when grown. Bought eggs on ebay from a woman who has white, lavender, grey, blue, buff, and black saddlebacks. One of the babies is yellowish with some light grey, the others are all dark grey and white. A friend says he thinks i have one white and four saddlebacks. Anyhow, here they are:



Here is a close up of the one lighter colored one, Ariel:



Here is a close up of one of the darker ones:

You have 4 saddlebacks, dark grey SB at that. The light one could be a white, could be grey dilute

Thanks, Shellie! They sure are cute, and super friendly.

That's a really dark gray. I got that charcoal gray one time on a normal colored gray crossed with a blue. Just guessing, but those dark grays might be carrying a blue gene.

I was hoping to hatch out some blues or greys. i think the blues are gorgeous. i read that breeding Lavender to grey always produces blue, and i have one adult Lavender gander, then 5 Lavender babies from the same parents, from a local woman who purchased her pair from Holderread. i'm pretty clueless on the coloring genetics. i just wanted to end up with several pairs of pretty geese.

Colleen,

Have you joined the Sebastopol lovers forum? If not you should. Genetics are discussed n depth with color images of the pairing and what off spring will be.

i have joined, but for some reason, sometimes i can log on and sometimes i can't. But will keep trying as i'm now curious what pairings i have here and what colors i can expect.

Please do, send a help request if you need to. Also try a different browser. I found logging in from my iPad and selecting the keep me logged in option the best way.

Thanks! My husband recently recommended i switch to Firefox as my browser. He said when he changed from using Safari to Firefox it upped his upload and download speed and eliminated a lot of problems.
