Hello.
My goose/gander is constantly preening/pecking at his chest and pulling out feathers. His chest just has lots of fluffed up down feathers and does not have the glossy look to it anymore. I feel like he must be itching. Could he have mites or lice? What can I put on him to help? His partner does not have the same problem. I don't have any other birds/waterfowl besides the 2 geese but wild canadian geese sometimes land in the pond.
Also, my geese never go in the pond and just like to hang around the barn and get into horse water buckets. Why might they behave this way and is there a way to get them to swim in and hang out around the pond?
Thanks!
