Other than heat, and either sugar water, or polyvisol/no iron, or the Poultry Nutri-Drench, I don't know.  I had a 6 day old suddenly quit eating, and it just stood in the corner with it's head down for 5 days.  Day 12...

Yes, I've been on BYC for awhile, now, because of my chickens.  Never thought of getting geese.  Had considered ducks, but had not gotten around to getting any, yet.  When these fell into my lap, it was a nice surprise,...
