Sebastopol geese - selecting breeding stock, color genetics, and color improvement

[CelticOaksFarm]

Saddleback is a pattern it is found in various colors with the two most common being grey and buff.

TWT is found in Sebastopols and can happen as a juvenile or even at the two year molt.

AW can be found in any waterfowl. Some think it is genetic, some think high protein. It could be a combination of the two.

i wonder what a cross between a sebastopol and a african goose would look like ?!

They look just like african goose.

There's a "Wing Disorder" page on my website you might find helpful on the differences between TWT and AW.

I am aware that sb is a "pattern" of color on the bird. What I wasn't clear about, and still am not, is whether or not this "color" thread would include or exclude sb? [btw love those buffs, shelly.] I have read back and forth on both twt and aw, but everyone's a know it all, so, knowing which know it all really knows it all is challenging. As much as I love those chocolate dunked geese, saddle is my thing... or I hope it will be in time anyway.

Miss Vicki, did Chris tell you about my Verbena?
