gosling dying
Other than heat, and either sugar water, or polyvisol/no iron, or the Poultry Nutri-Drench, I don't know. I had a 6 day old suddenly quit eating, and it just stood in the corner with it's head down for 5 days. Day 12 it perked up, and is fine now. I know this was of no real use to you, but I... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Yes, I've been on BYC for awhile, now, because of my chickens. Never thought of getting geese. Had considered ducks, but had not gotten around to getting any, yet. When these fell into my lap, it was a nice surprise, though I fretted about Narcissus for days. Now that the crisis is over, I... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Of the original 9 ducks I kept (I gave 4 to another lady here who had been wanting ducks for awhile) 2 died. One of hers died before she got her home. So I have 7. All buffs and gold star hybrids. Four buffs, and three gold star, .. I know there is one male, and one is a mystery duck that was... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
yes, after I saw her eating normally, and grooming herself, I gave such a sigh of relief. I figured Narcy would catch up to Gerty (or maybe it'll shorten to Trudy?) within a few weeks. Especially once I start putting them outside for a couple of hours a day. I am so happy. These gals were... -

This picture shows general size difference. Of course, they weren't the same distance from the camera, but you can see how much bigger Gertrude is than Narcissus. Aren't they beautiful! -

Female Embden gosling won't eat
I promise you, Miss Lydia I will post pictures. My daughter and I got some good pictures, earlier. So hard to get both of them in the picture, so you can see the dramatic size difference in the two of them. I'm going to get her to put them on the computer, and I'll come on here later and... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
For the first time, I feel like there is hope for her. She has been eating with good appetite this morning, and I've seen her poo three good healthy looking poops this morning. I've also seen her grooming herself, finally! Yeah, Narcissus! -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Well, she appears to have worked up an appetite. She jumped into the fresh bowl of food, along with the others, this morning. No standing there in the corner. -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Well, the only feed store I could get to today did not have it. She is still alive, but no better. But, on the bright side, she's not dead. I will try the only other feed store near my work on the way in tomorrow. By the time I get off of work, all the feed stores are closed. Even if I can't... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Thanks Miss Lydia, I won't be able to try it until I get home tonight, but I will get it at lunchtime today. If she's still alive when I get home, we will give it to her. How often should she get it, and how much? (Or are the directions on the container for geese?) -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
She's still alive, though weak and wobbly. I've tried human baby rice cereal, with a couple drops of poly-vi-sol no iron. Maybe a nibble.... I cut three different kinds of grass from around the yard, even cut some of it into little pieces. Tried floating some in water. Tried mixing a little... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
Don't know about the poop. Didn't see much in her hospital box. But something is definately wrong with her. Failure to thrive, if nothing else. She delicately nibbles at food, but shows no real appetite. She drinks water. But the biggest thing I noticed when I came home tonight, after not... -
Female Embden gosling won't eat
I don't know. I put her back with the others this morning, since my son rigged up a watering system like one I saw on here, where the water drains to a catch pan underneath the waterer that the ducks/geese can't get to to spash in. She is just very lethargic. She'll stand there, with all the...
