Sebbies don't shed water like other waterfowl, so yes they need more protection from the rains and cold winds.

That's what I suspected, but wasn't sure. Thanks. I'll have to do some more building if I get a pair.

Does any one have show quality sebastopol geese or goslings for sale? I am looking for some new bloodlines.

There are very few breeders that actually have show quality birds. They may say they have lines from so and so, but that doesn't mean they are "show worthy". And, most exhibition breeders aren't going to sell their show birds, it's so hard to get good ones.

Most breeders have sold out their gosling orders already this year. You just have to wait and see what becomes available. My birds generally start laying at the end of the month and the first week or two of eggs I won't set.

Ya I am finding that out. I have a few birds and want 2 buy a few more. I got my start from holdereads when I was 10 and fell inlove with the breed!

Doesn't Jenifer Kraus live in Kansas?? I have seen pictures of her birds and they look very nice....

 

[flaming007]

Yes she does. I sent her a email today about getting some birds. Her birds are really nice

I'm curious--do you not set the first weeks' eggs because the quality isn't as good as later in the season or ... ?
