We’re expecting!
Sebastopol Geese, that is. We picked up an incubator yesterday at the local farm supply. I won a clutch of 4 eggs on EggBid, yesterday afternoon. Aren’t they beautiful? I love their mad, curly feathers!
I decided a few years ago that I wanted geese because I am an egg artist (as a hobby). Getting eggs from a supplier is easy enough, but I wanted to have an ample supply to teach classes with and such. I also love the idea of having goose feathers handy for art supplies.
When looking at breeds of geese, I fell in love with these crazy-looking birds and was just about sold. I also love Toulouse geese - classic. However, when I read that Sebs are extremely gentle and friendly, I was completely sold. Can’t have a big bird nipping at my babes.
So, we wait for the eggs to arrive… Hopefully they’ll be here in a day or so from tomorrow.
Won’t they look lovely wandering through the lavender patch?

Ooooh I would love to hear how this goes! I just tried to talk dh into running some geese next summer. : ) I am a little intimidated by them I must admit.
