He is good starting to learn how to walk and eat 😍. and in the middle of the night, he was talking to himself in the mirror. He has four little stuffed animal ducks in there with them and cuddles up to them. I made a little mash with his food and he ate it from my finger. this morning I gave...
he has not started eating or drinking yet but its still less than 24 hours since he hatched (sometime between 10 pm and 5 am, i dont know exactly) I wonder should i try give him a few drops of liquid b complex? or just add something in his water maybe? I have poultry cell but i heard it tastes bad?
i took the first gosling away to try to help him his foot is turned under should i make a boot? and how? i posted in geese forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/gosling%E2%80%99s-foot-is-turned-under-help-please.1622981/
he hatched under his mommy about 18 hours ago approximately . he was trying to eat pine chips and mommy goose was standing up to let me see him and i think she wanted to take him to food and water but he stumbled and can’t walk. so i picked him up and his foot is bent under. but i gently...

Treating fungal infections with Baytril makes them worse.
i went through same thing with Poppy, gave her Baytril 1st and she got worse. There is a chart from Majestic waterfowl sanctuary and links to aspergillosis treatment with Oxine AH
... antibiotics can actually make aspergillosis worse.

that's my thread about Poppy
Here's a pic of the Nystatin
I got it from a pet bird store online
The dosage I used was 1 gram in 1 ml water, orally by syringe, 2x a day for 5 days Poppy weighs 3.5 pounds...
I also thought at first maybe my Poppy runner duck had gape and I gave Poppy dewormer for that and I also gave her antibiotics before I realized none of that helped and it was aspergillosis…
and also nystatin. start with Oxine AH diluted 3/4 cup per 1 gallon of water. When you buy the Oxine AH do not buy the activator you don’t use that for this purpose. you will need a nebulizer. I got a small portable one. I attach it to the door of a small dog crate. and cover it with towels it’s...
i’m so afraid they can drown so i took out the adult water bucket from their house and just put little goslings waterer and feeder but now i’m worried the adults can’t get their bills in there . if i put a dog food bowl of water for them won’t the goslings swim in it lol. im going back in...
trudy’s goslings have started hatching …
when do they need food and water ?
and i guess i’ll have to take away the adult geese’s all flock pellets and let them eat starter crumbles too? Charlie been eating lots of grass ( yay for spring grass) but i also normally keep a bowl of pellets out for...
i’m so sorry 😢
i’m so sorry 😢 i’ve had days here with 10 or more of those turkey vultures in dead trees above us and made my dog stay out until those things were gone. they are scary and the ducks told me so.
i’m so sorry about your ducks 🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹
