I seen a thread on here before about this issue but, noticed that it is from 2010. I thought I would refresh the thread and see if I can get some clarity on this issue.
I noticed about 2 weeks ago that my 7 week old goose apparently has an "angel wing". I read that their diet could cause this to happen and introducing oyster shells, along with backing off of the starter feed could help correct it. I also read that you could wrap their wing for about a week or 10 days to correct it more successfully as well as changing the diet.
So, my question is...how do you set the wing and wrap it? What do you wrap it with? Do you wrap both wings, like wrap around their belly and back?
I hope this thread doesn't make me sound dumb...this is my first go round with geese and I want make sure I am doing everything I can to keep them healthy and happy!
