Sebastopol Geese are the most beautiful of all geese with flowing gowns of ruffled white feathers and beautiful blue eyes. They have a much gentler disposition that other geese, too, and were often kept as lawn ornaments. Through the years, the gene pool has become thin, resulting in poor fertilization and reduced hatch rates, making Sebastopols somewhat rare and hard to get. This little gosling was the only one from his hatch. Actually, although it is referred to as a he, it is not sexed, so could be a she. The females have a dark back and cap and although this one has darker feathers on the both the cap and back, they are not very dark compared to the rest of him, which makes him a boy, most likely.
Sebastopol geese are graceful, and pretty, but they need more shelter and care than regular geese because of their ruffled feathers, which do not insulate their bodies as with the smooth coated relatives. Welcome to The Fat Ewe Farm, little Sebastian Sebastopol.
