    It was just suggested that maybe this is happening during a growth spurt and it’s the joints and bones stretching during the growth. Still looking for a vet that sees geese. 🥴

    Geese: dislocated knee? INJURED?

    We bought these from metzger farms. We’ve noticed something’s been off since day one, but we are new to this. We thought it was vitamins, so we upped vitamins, yeast, and now my husband is currently building a bigger brooder. I’ll see if we can do a vet, I’ll start looking.

    Geese: dislocated knee? INJURED?

    Our almost 3 week Embden, has been limping off and on the last two days. We give them Niacin and from Research we may need to get a vitamin B complex. The knee pops or makes a noise when the gosling is walking. This is our first time with geese, this is our bigger one. We think it’s the male.
