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

[psue]

So you'll have sb boys over white girls? I have one of those pairings too but there is also a sb girl in the mix.

yes.. so now to see if the white is hiding any color

Wow, what a great thread.

I bought a new little didgital camera to enable me to finally get a whole bunch of pics and pic out the good ones to share. Now, I have to learn to use it.

One pair (from celtic) is I guess called splash, they have only a few gray spots on their necks (biggest spot is the size of a half doller, most pea sized) and gray under their wings, and a few stray feathers on their backs.

Yay

Marti has a camera now *giggles*

Paula and new gender benders on your end and surprise eggs?

 

[psue]

not yet... but only 2 geese are laying... I've still got one that was supose to be a girl but acts like a kicked out batchlor

so we are still watching


However the SB sebbies are both hissy and the other 2 are not... I'm guessing their genders are right.

about a foot of snow on the ground since 8:30 cst and they'er calling for more

Glad to know the new birds (sebbies) are turning out to be sexed correctly.

You have at least a gander in the new dewlaps.

Sorry about all of the snow, I cant remember deep snow its been so long since we were stationed where it snowed. Dont miss it one ounce.

Thanks Shellie and peasue I went out when the snow started to feed and gather more eggs from the girls. I made sure to feed enough then to not have to go back out in it when it got deep or slipery.
I go in a bit later in the morning before 8:00 am. Usually go in before 6:00am. My husband will take me in the truck and pick me up. The hill we have to go down is very steep and it is a B$%$% to get up in this weather.

We have a back way to come in but these pople that live on that property do not want people using that road. I thought that any road that had road signs or street signs you could use unless it says NO thuro through. Anyway they have taken it upon themselfs to put big ditches on both sides of the road and have super high speed bumps, so high a regular car can not use it period. There is a road committy and they are investagating into it to see if these people have the right to do this.
We need an emergency exit out from here and that is they only way!!!?????
