Quick question on my goose

[RRAdams]

I bought 8 goslings from ideal poultry this spring of hatchery choice. One of the geese is growing feathers just like a sebestapol. Ideal doesn't even carry that breed though. She also has a small head puff like my 2 tufted Romans. Do Sebastopol ever get head tuffs? Or did I some how get a cross bred goose mixed in?

It could be an accidental cross or some sort of hidden gene expression its self. It could even be a new mutation.

I'd love to see a picture.

Really not possible to do more than guess badly without a picture. Ideal does not have sebastopols so it is unlikely to be that unless it was an accident with one of their suppliers. Ideal does seem to have an inordinate amount of crested/tufted breeds in both their ducks and geese...the even have a disclaimer that crested birds may be included in your order.

Post a picture and we will have a guess the goose contest.
