Everybody else is posting pics of their Seb babies so I thought I'd share some updated pics of my 2009 goslings.

WELL! I just happen to have one of you're saddleback babies! I named him "Charming", and he lives up to his name. I raised him in the house for his first few weeks, What a doll! He will feather out nice-he's only 3 months in this pic

At 4 months

Thanks all!
Banter are you sure he's a gander?
I'm still not sure on some of mine.

NO! I wish I could find a pro to help me sex them! Charming is half again the size of his/her sisters. Just a guess for now.

I'm going to try and get mine sexed before I sell them.

Banter I'm beginning to see 2 types from my saddleback gander Chap x (white) Chiffon...(parents of your goslings from me).
Some are chunky like the dad and some more refined or elegant...like Charming.
I'm beginning to think the more refined ones look more like Sebastopols so may very well be the better of the 2 types for keeping the look of Sebastopols in the colored birds vs. the over sized style you see in alot of the colored Sebs coming from DH lineage.
