We have 3 Toulouse goslings who are about 3 weeks old and they are beyond disgusting. They live in a large livestock water trough with shavings and a panel heater. We clean their enclosure out daily and their waterer is “spill proof” (too large for them to dump but they obviously still splash in it to the best of their ability.) Our main issue is how much they poop and that they have no problem sitting in it. They like to hang out in a pile next to their heater where they poop all day. They then obviously sit in this poop and are constantly damp and gross. They are starting to get little sores on their legs from it. We are now changing their bedding twice a day, tried switching to dog potty pads (not a good idea), and I am washing off their legs/feet daily. I was thinking that we could move them to a larger enclosure but they only make one half of their current enclosure gross because that is the area they like to lay in as it is near the heater. They don’t have any adult feathers yet and are too small for me to consider just putting them out in the yard with the chickens even if it were warm enough. Any ideas? I don’t know how we’re going to make it until they are old enough to be outside.
