    Gosling behavior and being alone

    Definitely agree with Goosebaby. The best thing you could do for your gosling is to get him a friend that he can do goose things with. You do him/her a disservice by having a life lived alone. I think your friend will be okay 6-8 hours alone but make sure his enclosure is secure, free of danger...

    Injured Canada Goose. What should I do?

    He has definitely left before to float down the river with inner tubers and kayakers before, the river goers nick-named him "Maverick". He has always been home by dark but this time is a little different. I am sure he's doing well but of course I always assume the worst! He's strong, healthy and...

    Injured Canada Goose. What should I do?

    Sorry, forgot about the story of this gooses foot injury. Been awhile since I've seen this thread. I'm sure it's a little heart breaking to have to watch her struggle a little bit in everything she does but she sounds like a trooper, she does what she has to do to get by. If it were me I would...

    Injured Canada Goose. What should I do?

    Is she walking okay? Have a good appetite? If she's mated already I wonder where her mate is.

    Gosling outside?

    Yes I do. The one I raised by hand is the nicest goose I've ever met in my life, totally not aggressive in the slightest bit towards any human, very social and actually likes hanging out where ever you are. Then I have a Embden gander who I got from my aunt a couple years ago. I am unsure...

    First goose egg!!!

    My Brecon Buff laid 12 eggs. Only 3 of the 12 (the ones I kept to eat for breakfast) I noticed were fertile. I did give 4 away to neighbors to eat but I never knew if those were fertile also. So out of the 8 I kept, less than half were fertilized. If I understand this correctly, some incubation...

    Gosling outside?

    That last pic made my heart full:loveraising goslings is one of the best most loving experiences I've ever had in raising animals. I wish I could perpetually just have baby geese. I think whatever you are doing is okay as long as you be observant of any sort of shivering or obvious signs of...

    Goose eating LOTS of grit

    Love your profile pic OP ! I have watched my geese eat mothfuls of sand. Although occasional, I found the behavior odd and started to theorize and worry that maybe they had an infection of some sort like what Goosebaby mentioned. But they all had healthy appetites, normal poos, healthy...

    Hello!

    I've had so many people tell me Javas are a quiet breed. I have 3, probably the most chatty of the flock. One of them screams all day like she's being starved or something, gosh she's got quite the mouth!

    My Ducklings got Burned

    I apologize, when I think of bathtubs I think of them full of water! I am so sorry :lol:

    My Ducklings got Burned

    Cool water for sure on the burns. I also would just like to note that having a heat lamp over water doesn't seem like a good idea because of the risk of electrical shock. If your concerned about them being cold fill the tub with lukewarm water. After their swim do a quick towel dry and get them...
