Sadly I don't! I definitely thought of that, plus I don't want him to grow up alone. I am going to keep looking but for now, there is no one near me (I live in the sticks, on an island) with young baby birds.   I even...

Wasabi (the little female) died in my hands at 11:00 this morning.  She starved to death, surrounded by food. We buried her out back.   Sashimi, the little gander, is very active and alert. He has always been the stronger...

Thanks everyone. MM was stumped and didn't really have much advice for me. Said to put honey on the tips of their bills and to offer hard boiled egg yolk (which I am making right now). I will try the fruit slurry, thank you CelticOaks.

I am on hold with Murray McMurray (where I got them from) right now.   We did give them baths, we kind of had to in order to clean them up. They were able to stay upright but the water was only just deep enough for them...

Yup, the food is in a bowl, and yup, I have pecked my fingers in it to kind of show them that it is food. I have seen them pick some up but they always spit it right back out. I forgot about the grit, thanks for reminding me! I will...

My two new Seb goslings hatched & shipped on Monday, arrived on Wednesday (in PERFECT condition), and it's now Friday and the level in their feeder does not seem to have gone down at all. They hardly poop, which is also...
