A feather type, not a colour
We are not running blue, lilac, splash at the moment. Those pages explain the colours and what we would suggest instead.
The Sebastopol Goose
Bred for correct type, not just curl
Sebastopols are a medium-weight European breed known for long, spiralling feathers that trail from the back and wings. The curl is what people come for, but type is what separates a good bird from a pretty one: a smooth, full breast, well-curled flight feathers, and a broad body carried level. The breed facts page covers origin, size and why they are considered rare.
Because the curled flight feathers cannot carry them, Sebastopols do not fly, so a low fence holds them. They are calm birds and handle well, which is most of why people keep them. The care guide covers housing, diet and what they actually need day to day.

Weather decides the ship date as much as the calendar does.
Extreme heat and hard freezes hold birds back until it is safe to travel.
Orders are filled in the order they are received.
If nothing is available in the colour you want, ask to go on the list for the next hatch.
Keeping Sebastopols
Care and Housing
Curly feathers do not shed rain the way flat feathers do, so shelter, shade, and water deep enough to wash in all matter more for this breed than most.
Read the care guideHatching the Eggs
Goose eggs want around thirty days, more humidity than chicken eggs, and turning by hand. Shipped eggs need to rest before they go in.
