Sebastopol Geese Thread !!!!!!!!!! SHOW YOUR PICS !!!!!!!!!!

[poultry09]

I am talking to a lady about buying her flock of 9 Sebastopols both white and gray and some mixed white/gray. Thier are 9 in total with 4 males 1 female and 4 unknown 2012 baby's she thinks are mostly females, I did post some pictures of her adults a while back and now we are talking about a fair price for the whole flock, I know it is hard to tell but how much do you think is a fair price for the flock? Any advice would be great!

Would post pictures but once again BYC has changed thier stuff again and now I cant post pictures

I would say from the photos at least $725+ depending on the quality of the other males and goslings.

FYI

I am looking for a good female to replace my Mama goose if there are any extras there.

Thier is only one for sure female out of 9 so idk, If I get this flock I am going to be selling some of my current sebbies but I doubt you would be intrested in them?

I just replaced my avatar with one of her 2012 goslings she calls "fancy" she is very beautiful! please tell me what you think

I'm hoping someone can answer my question. The breeder I got Sebastian from says she has two females she can part with but they are both currly breasted (like Sebastian). Can I breed a churrly breasted goose to a curly gander? I breed Polish and I know you can't breed frizzle to frizzle is this the same?

Yes you can, but if you breed a curly to a smooth you have a better chance of twisted wing not showing up. I am not a pro or expert so hopefully someone who knows the exact details will come along and help you out and correct me if I am wrong.

You're right- and most people in the US are breeding curly x curly, because our standard calls for white curly birds.
Overseas it common practice to breed curly to smooth.

I don't know how well ganders sell where you are, but down here it's hard to give them away unless they are paired. If I am only guaranteed one pair our of the bunch, then I think I would have to adjust my offer accordingly. You may be able to get them a little cheaper that way!
