Geese

Introduced into Britain in 1859 from the countries surrounding the Black Sea and the lower Danube; The Sebastopol is now becoming a popular family farm goose in the United States. Sebastopol geese are easy to identify based on their feathers, which are curly. Due to the curls in their feathers, these geese are primarily flightless. Most Sebastopol geese are white, but they can be gray, buff, saddleback, or gray-brown. The breast feathers may be smooth or frizzy. One of the most distinctive characteristics of this goose is its blue eyes that stand out against its light feathers. Most of these geese also have elegant, rounded heads, long, slender, arched necks, and keelless breasts. Both the shanks and the legs are orange.
