I can't tell if she is a Pomeranian (servpolice - poms with the correct bill color are sadly pretty rare here as you can tell from my profile pic) or a Toulouse/Embden mix. I concur that based on the shape of the bill, I would say its a female.
I couldn't tell from the photos, but does this...
I am also chief livestock wrangler, gardener, homeschool our teenager, help run our construction business, make soap/candles/paint, am President of a large exhibition poultry club, and put on an 800-1000 bird show every fall: So I know all about overextending ones self....lol.
One never knows...
You don't typically see pure Pomeranian goslings that cheap. I sell mine for $15 each from birth to 12 days of age (in years when I sell any young ones at all). Yes, Pomeranians are rare, the Buffs considerably more so than the Gray, but neither has sufficient numbers to make it off the...
Watching them feather out and grow is truly a joy. Goslings are by far my favorite babies out of anything I raise. Although, I do have to admit that I love turkey poults quite a bit as well!
No differences in the birds overall, except for their color. They should still have a single centrally located lobe, salmon to reddish pink bill, legs, feet, broad chest, no exposed keel bone, and blue eyes. Honestly, I have been actively trying to purchase a couple solid colored birds for quite...
True, they do come in solid colors, which are not accepted to the standard of perfection by the A.P.A. in the United States (only the grey and buff saddlebacks are recognized here). I only know of a couple flocks in the entire country with legitimately solid colored Pomeranians: The largest...
Sometimes, this breed can be horrible about picking at other birds: I had a Sebastapol breeder sell me the Buff Saddlebacks she had purchased to try to get the pattern into her flock a couple years ago because they had plucked all the Sebbies naked. I have two goslings right now that had their...
Thanks. It is always a work in progress. I started out with some hatchery chickens and two ducks, then added better chickens from exhibition flocks, then more ducks, then geese, then turkeys, then more ducks and geese, guineas, then more chickens. During that period of growth it always seemed...
Faults are easy. Too much white where their should be buff, or buff where their should be white; double lobes, bright orange bill/legs/feet, too small overall, too large overall, exposed keel bone, crooked keel bone.
If you want to breed to the standard, I highly recommend purchasing one from...
Poms are not hard to breed. Holderreads let the last of their Pomeranian's go (the remaining greys) about two years ago. Ari Katz, a young man in the NE has some very nice grey ones and will ship goslings. His information is available on our Facebook group.
If you are speaking to me, breeding...

Their is a lady in Arkansas that raises them. However, I am not sure which color or what quality. The next closest would be Paradise Waterfowl (LaMike on here) up by Shreveport, LA: Those birds are from my flock and include the bird in my profile picture. I am not sure if his are still laying or...
This is my line: I have 13 breeding birds. I started about 4 years ago with a pair obtained in Mississippi from a private flock. The next year I purchased 6 from Kawonu Farms in the Carolinas: That flock has since been dispersed. I just picked up a breeding partner in Indiana who is a major...
A few pictures of several of my Buff Saddleback Pomeranian goslings out in their daytime area with their duck buddies.
Here is a pic of the two girls I showed last year. The one in the foreground in the first picture won Reserve Champion Waterfowl in a show where their were over 40...
You are very welcome Lizzy456. Their are a few of us in the Gulf Coast area: I am an hour north of New Orleans (more or less) and have planted several small flocks of Buffs all over the state: Lake Charles, Shreveport, Baton Rouge to name a few.
I know Cindy has an incubator running full of eggs...
