Beautiful!
I have a few with crazy straight wing feathers too, and i know they are full curly birds. I think its normal.

Yes it's very typical for Sebastopol youngsters to have straight primaries like that.
Not to worry.

On my way to look at a sebbie female who lost her mate to a mountain lion, she is 4 years old, I hope everything is good and we can bring her home, it's about 3 hours away, will post pics later!

We have too many ganders this year for our little farm, and my husband suggested putting the extra Sebbie males into freezer camp. (Gasp!) Reality is what it is. We don't keep extra ducks or chickens, what makes the geese any different? They just are different!

So, the question begs to be asked....has anyone else eaten their Sebbie geese?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

No, finding pet homes for them as some just want pretty lawn ornaments and 2 ganders would fit that want.

Never eaten goose. The closest I ever got was ordering a turducken from a New Orleans butcher for Xmas one year.

I'd try to sell them first though, sebbies are hard to come by in certain areas.

Run and add on Craigs list... I probably could help you place 2 of them but your too far away.

I don't think I could do it. We process extra roos and drakes but the geese, yeah....I couldn't do it. They were originally bred as a decent meat bird too so I guess you could. I just couldn't do it to the geese, they are my babies. I get too attached when I have to let them grow out for so long to find out if they are boys or girls.
