I have a sweet female White Chinese who is about 1 1/2 years old. She was badly injured this summer by a bobcat bite to the neck and lost her best friend, another goose, at the same time. I nursed her back to health and now she is doing really well. She has a funny little way of walking now...

ok - sorry! and thank you miss lydia :)

Thanks CP. They are still up to it every day. And they both still take the dominant position at different times. They also both have different small bodies of water that they each "claim" and won't let the other get into. I just let them do their thing - not much else I can do anyway.

Wow! I had no idea this thread of mine had gone on so long and had gotten so interesting! I used to get emails that told me when someone replied to a thread and I just realized that I need to subscribe to this thread. Ok - so, just a little more 411 for you all. The white chinese does, in...

Hi there, I have a white chinese and an african - both just under a year old. The white chinese has been laying since last fall (she layed all winter) and the african (much to our surprise - we thought it was a male) began laying a couple of weeks ago. Before the african started laying they...

I just wanted to post an update on my little guy. He's doing great! I gave him the antibiotics every day for 5 days, plus vitamins in their water (which I'm going to continue to do until the female stops laying), and over the last 2 days he has really improved. I don't know if there was...

I've been researching goose diseases all morning - and there are so many on the extension sites - but then when I read the forums a lot of folks say that geese hardly ever get sick. It's very confusing. My male goose is still not doing very well. He doesn't seem to be eating or drinking at...

I have a white Chinese that started laying at 5 months too. I got her and her mate at a feed store in the middle of March and she started laying in the middle of August. She has layed 11 eggs so far! I was not expecting any eggs at all. Pretty amazing!

I checked their night time house - which is a wooden house with a screened door - and I didn't see any mold - and their bedding is replaced every day or every other day - depending on how dirty it gets - but I've never seen mold in that either. During the day they go out to a shallow pond area...

I looked at the fresh poop in their pen and there were no visible worms. But since he hasn't eaten much in the last 2 days I don't know if it was his poop or her's. I'm going to give him some polyvisol and see if that helps. It seems like it's related to the swollen eye thing since it...

Hi Everyone, A few days ago I posted a question about my male brown Chinese goose who had a swollen eye area. The swelling went down the next day, but I noticed that since then he has been kind of lethargic. I haven't seen him eat - but I'm not with the geese all day, and he seems to just sort...

Thanks for the replies! This morning he is looking better. Still a teeny bit swollen - but his eye looks a lot more open.

Hi There, I have a 5 month old Chinese male who today started having, what I at first thought was a sleepy eye. It's just one eye and it isn't swollen shut - he just looks sleepy - and when you look at him straight on you can tell there is some minor swelling on that side of his head. I've...

We have two goslings that are about 2 months old now and from very small we let them swim around in the bathtub and they loved it. We have two pretty dark pond with algae that we take them out to about once a day and it is really taking them a long time to get used to them. At first they did...
