In the Brooder
My mothers geese laid eggs and my mother decided to try to incubate them. Eventually she finally had one hatch. Only one! She already had 3 baby ducks hatched when the gosling hatched. They were much bigger so she was afraid they might hurt her so she asked me to take her. So I have and from everything I'm reading she should be growing considerable everyday?? If that is the case then something is very wrong. She was born Easter and I got her two days later and she hasn't grown much at all. I can tell a tiny bit because I'm with her everyday but it's not a noticeable difference like Iv been reading about. I talked to a lady at a goose farm and she said add niacin to the water so I have. She's been on that for two days now, plus grass clippings and 20% chick starter unmediated and a poultry snack called baby cake and of course plenty of water. I dont know what to do but still I see barely any growth. I bought her a friend so she wouldn't be alone and he was born 2 days before Easter and he is 3-4 times her size. Both American buff geese. I dont know I'm just wondering if how she was incubated could have stunted her somehow i dont know. She seems healthy and happy but just not growing much. What should I do???
