Sebastopol goose
The Sebastopol is a breed of domestic goose, descended from the European graylag.〔Holderread (1981) p.24〕 First exhibited in England in 1860 under the name 'Sebastopol goose';〔The Field (1860) pp.348-9〕 they were also referred to as Danubian geese; a name first used for the breed in Ireland in 1863.〔Journal of Hortuculture (1863) p.58〕 'Danubian' was used as a synonym in the 19th century; and only given precedence by Edward Brown after the turn of the 19th century.〔Brown (1906)p.186〕 The Sebastopol is a medium-sized goose with long, white curly feathers. The feathers of the neck are smooth and sometimes greyish-brown. Crosses have produced all-gray, buff, and saddle back variants.〔Ashton (1999) p.33〕〔Holderread (1981) p.38〕 Feathers on the breast may be curly (frizzle) or smooth. The gander weighs 12-14 lbs while the goose weighs 10-12 lbs. The legs and shanks are orange and the eyes bright blue. On average, females produce 25-35 eggs per year.〔Holderread (1981) p.25〕
Though domesticated breeds of geese generally retain some flight ability, Sebastopols cannot fly well due to the curliness of their feathers and have difficulty getting off the ground.〔Holderread (1981) p.19〕〔Luttmann (1978) p.38〕 They need plenty of water to keep themselves clean, and to clean their sinuses (as do all waterfowl).〔Domestic Waterfowl Club Sebastopol article〕
In German, they are called ''Lockengans'' or ''Struppgans'', meaning "curl-goose" and "unkempt goose".
==History==
It has been stated the breed was developed in Central Europe along the Danube and the Black Sea.〔Wright (1885) pp. 570-572〕〔Tegetmeier and Weir (1867) pp.315-316〕 However, it is documented that the birds were originally met with in the Crimea and sent from the port of Sevastopol, Ukraine as the name implies, and arrived in England in 1860.〔〔Illustrated London News (1860) p.231〕 By the 19th century they were found in all the countries surrounding the Black Sea. The alternate name Danubian reflected their prevalence around the river Danube.〔Ashton (1999) p.32〕 They were originally bred to use their curly feathers in pillows and quilts.〔Kear and Hulme (2005) pp.6-7〕
