Sebastopol Geese Hatching Eggs (Price per Egg)

Please understand that Sebastopol Geese are more difficult to incubate and hatch than other water fowl. Shipping can be hard on the embryo and may affect the hatch rate. Please understand this before purchasing any eggs from us. Unfortunately, Sebastopol geese lay about 13 to 20 eggs per year, have a fertility rate of about 45%- 60%, and not all will be good broody mothers compared to other waterfowl. All of these factors make to where you get an average of 7-12 hatchlings each year per female. This difficulty in production is one of the reasons why the Sebastopol is considered a threatened species and is a lot more expensive to produce. Sebastopol are probably our most unique appearing goose. You would think that a bird such as this would have been bred fairly recently but actually they have been around for hundreds of years. Their origin is thought to be from the countries surrounding the Black Sea, Hungary and the Balkans. They were known early on in England and Ireland as Danubia
