Emden Goose Blood Near Vent

[JadeLandolfi]

Hi everyone,

I've got a 6 month old Emden goose female who has some blood near her vent. After picking her up and looking her over as well as checking her vent she is pink and there's only blood on her feathers. I checked their coop and there's a tiny bit of blood in there but nothing massive, not like blood in her poop or anything. It is currently super cold and I know the birds get stressed form this. She isn't egg bound as it's winter and she is still too young. She hasn't shown any signs of discomfort or any signs of egg boundness.

Any ideas? The blood is all dry.

Welcome to BYC.Is there some feather-picking going on? Sometimes they will break a blood feather that may continue to bleed for a bit, but it sounds like there is no current bleeding problem. I would just watch them for any bullying. We also have a goose forum under “forums” above if you want to post there.
