Super Sebastopol Surprise & Goose Love Story

I hatch them 5 days late from banter's eggs.

Cool!

I'm getting some goslings from her in May!

Oh I can't wait to see those solid babies feathered out! They are all gorgeous, good job Cottage Rose.

I picked up 3 sebbie goslings yesterday, I'll post pics in a new thread tonight.

Banter, your sebbies Always take my breath away, they are stunning. Have Zoey and Bloo Goo produced this year yet? I'm anxious to see what their babies will turn out to be.

Well, I don't know about stunning,

They are unique in many ways, and certainly (very sweet) brats! I think they( the 2nd generation) turned out very compact and sturdy, and I think I will be able to keep improving the feathering. This line of geese I have seem to develop slow. Zucherro, at a year is just getting the fuller breast feathering. I think he'll produce curly breasted offspring, which his mother did.
Cottage Rose has stunning geese! I will be breeding one of her white girls to Zucherro. Next year will be interesting!
I let Zoey and Yuri hatch their own, and they produced 5, all blue or gray

babies. I'm hoping to keep 1, which I believe to be a female.
The other two look male to me. Two went to a great BYC'er at 3 days old. I hate the thought taking the other two away from the parents, but I can't keep too many geese. The one in the middle I think is a female-can you see the difference in size and head shape?
