Ok so I aquired a couple of geese about a week ago from someone who knew nothing about raising poultry. That being said they were all very underweight, the gander was the worst off of the group. About 3-4 days ago he started stumbling around and then quit walking altogether. I've gotten him semi separated from the others and have been trying to nurse him back to health. He seems quite feisty, eats and drinks like a champ. And also has been going to the bathroom without any problems. He just can't walk, I've been trying to help him stand and he will but not for long.
I guess my question is will he recover from this, does anyone know what is wrong with him? My guess would be malnutrition? He is getting plenty of fresh grass now and a combination of rolled corn/sweet feed, and he eats like a pig!
Any help would be appreciated!
