What is the likelihood that two goslings from a hatchery are siblings?

[Julia1848]

Hi! I will be receiving two American buff goslings from Metzer Farms in March. I am just curious what the likelihood that they will be siblings is. I don’t know how hatcheries really work but I assume it’s possible that they could come from different batches of eggs. I only ask because I’ve ordered a goose and a gander, and would like to let them raise goslings if they choose to do so. I know sibling mating can cause issues down the line. Thanks!

I would guess that the percentages are quite low.

You can always contact Metzer.
