Thank you Pete... I sold the SB in the 2nd picture. Had too many ganders. The top one is Hanna I got from DH when he was selling out. She has come a long way in her feathering since we got her. The last picture is of our breeding our Ginger. Pete when you breed a white female with a grey gander I know you get splash males and grey females but can you also get saddleback females?
Thank you Pips and Pete. I have to figure out who were the parents of Ginger? She was one of the goslings where all my girls decided to deposit their eggs in one nest. Yes, I had other nest but we all liked just the one. So it will be divided nest from now on so I know who the parents are.
I had two saddleback females and 2 splash ganders from that hatch Ginger came from. They all were curly breasted from that hatch. The only saddleback I had at the time was Lance a smooth breasted gander and two females from Vicky who carried saddleback. No other SB at the time.
Pete Ginger just keeps getting better each year. I wonder if she could have been out of one of Vicky's girls I purchased from her about 3 years back? I sold one white female thiking it was Sassafras and it turned out to be one of Vicky's girls I sold.
I LOVE Sebbies! I do not have any right now, but am keeping my eye out for gray Sebastopol hatching eggs or for a gray female (if anyone knows where I could get some near Michigan, I'd love it!). Can't wait to get some!
Thank you Josie. When you breed a saddleback and a white you will get grey saddlebacks. But the one bing smooth breasted you will get 50% curly and 50% smooth breasted. Pete is a great person to ask about color combinations !!
