I got a goose she had started to sit on a nest for maybe a week or two and now she seems like she can't walk. And when I feel her feet they are cold. What would cause this and will she get better

Has she been getting up at all since she started sitting? sounds like she has lost circulation in her feet and legs. If it was my goose I would take her off the nest put her in a small pen with protection and begin making sure she is eating and drinking add some poultry vitamins to her drinking water that has Niacin in it Poultry Nutri Drench [TSC] is a good one. I really wouldn't let her continue to sit you may loose her. Some geese just don't make good broodies especially if they don't take care of themselves.I got a goose she had started to sit on a nest for maybe a week or two and now she seems like she can't walk.

Yes save a chick will be okay but don't let the gander mess with her right now. You can keep them close but separate with fencing so she can have a chance to recoup.could i give her save a chick?
I don't know how many geese you have but if I was you I'd do a worming. Safe Guard is a good one it can be bought as paste or liquid. if you only have a few geese Safe Guard paste wormer for horses would work. You'll need to know her weight for dosage. Let us know and we'll see if @casportpony will help with dose.She is 2 years old I have never worked her and she hasn't been on her nest for two days I got to throw the eggs out. If them was her eggs she was sitting on its been a few weeks. I got a few females
Thank you for updating great news!! any ideas what it was? @babybluegurl22I know it's been a while but she got over it and started walking again.
