About how old r they when there feathers start to turn in to ribbons. I Am very new to this breed but am in love I have a little boy who follows me around like a puppy. He never leaves my side. His name is Pickle for now. He got that name because he wouldn't let anyone near me so he would pick at them,lol! I love my Pickle he's a sweet boy, he lets be love him and pet him. He even lets me pick him up.

They are a few months old when they start getting some curly big bird feathers. If they are curly, that is.

Renie- if your geese can't get to grit naturally, you can put a rubber bowl outside with play sand in it. I do that, and even when it fills up with rain, the geese can scoop up sand from the bottom. I actually like to leave water in it because it keeps the cats from pooping in it!

As far as sexing them goes- behavior wise- is Garth "guarding" the others? Some of my boys do this, but not all.

When I bought my Sebastopol the guy said there wore about 6months old but they don't have any curls yet. At first I started thinking maybe he lied to me about the breed but he has everything else blue eyes orange legs.

How old r they in this photo?

If they are 6 months they should have a good amount of curl. They may be totally smooth sebs- I have one myself.

Here's a curly and a smooth-breasted. Even smooth-breasted show some back curls by 4 or 5 months.


Ginsberg is just dirty on his neck, he is actually totally white. Sooooo nice to finally see the sun here!
