UPDATE(03/26) Here's a pic of the 3 goslings that just hatched from the eggs that are for sale! . Sebastopols are medium-sized white geese which are known for their long curling feathers. These should be curly all over the bird's body. The gander weighs 12 to 14 pounds, and the goose 10 to 12. The beak and legs are orange and the eyes are bright blue. They originated in Europe along the Danube River and around the Black Sea. They are reputed to be of European origin and were called Sebastopol after being brought from the seaport of Sebastopol. They are unique in the goose breeds in having frizzled feathers which curl due to the lack of a rigid feather spine/quill. When the primaries and secondaries on the wing also curl well it is often linked to the angel wing ; and it becomes almost the norm to find wing abnormalities within this breed resulting in the unaffected ones becoming expensive ! ........They are average layers as a breed and due to their east European heritage can be short tempered having the Russian fighting Geese / German Kampfganse in their makeup.Useful in that they are unable to fly well having no true wings, but needing care and plentiful water in order to groom and care for their plumage. Also known as L'oie Frise'e du Danube in France/Belgium All questions are welcome if you need any help hatching them.
