Raising Geese 101

[Miss Lydia]

I'm going to see if I get more this week and then incubate them. I have a 1 year old gander who has been making the motions to breed but I've never seen him mount her. Of course I'm not home a lot 5 days a week so see them very little plus I let them on the creek so that's likely where they are breeding if they are.

Well hopefully he is getting it right and you'll be incubating goslings.

I got some waterfowl pellets for my goslings should I mash it?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Not sure if your gosling can eat pellets might want to make it into crumble.

Hello everyone! This is a great post. I just joined backyard chickens so i could be a part of this thread. I love my Chinese geese ever since i got them 5 months ago. I am new to raising them and i am experienceing some problems that i didn’t see in this thread. Maybe i didn’t looo hard enough. I have 3 total and my white gander is having some issues. He is off balance can’t walk well, and his wings sometimes fall to the ground. I took him to the vet and they gave him muscle relaxars for his wing....that seems like misdiagnosis. All i can find on the Internet is niacin deficiency or possible worms. I have them all niacin and will continue to do so. I don’t know how to deworm a goose fast. I deworm my goats but that’s it. I’m not finding any value info anywhere and i think I’m running out of time.
