This is not the season for Sebastopol eggs. They will start laying in the Spring of next year 2014!

I'm happy to find this thread. I'm hoping to have my first Sebbies this spring! It's nice to see people that care about quality as everyone I've found near me definitely do not.
How soon can you tell if you have quality stock or who should and shouldn't be breed?

Just got this splash gander today to breed with my white goose. What do you think? Will I get splash goslings or just white and then have to breed back?
