Three out of four goslings have completely normal wings now!!! One of the little guys still has a gap. Do I rewrap or will this correct itself? He constantly keeps hitching the left wing (his left) up like its bugging him somehow.
...and a third developed angel wings overnight.
Mazuri Waterfowl Starter sounded like such a good idea in the beginning.
Oh well, I have lived and I have learned, que sera sera
Thanks! When I got home from work today another goslings had both wings turned out too, so I apparently need to get this wrapping technique downpat. Sigh...
Maintenance diet is supposed to be in tomorrow morning too.
Thanks again!

You wrap all the way around the wing once and then figure 8 it to the body, correct? How do you wrap if it is in both wings? Wrap wing #1 and then figure 8, then wrap wing #2 and figure 8 it again?
I was never good at arts and crafts. ;)
I know there are thousands of these angel wing threads, but I am a newbie to waterfowl so please forgive...
Goslings are 33 days old at this point. Fed a diet of Mazuri Waterfowl Starter since arrival, supplemented with greens and allowed out to graze a few hours each day. One is developing...
I wondered about the gravel hurting their feet too after we went on a walk-about yesterday and they really did NOT like the gravel along the edge of the driveway. Thought about sand...but that would probably erode quickly when cleaning the pool.
I have no clue on ventilation for Colorado...here...
Thanks for the complements and advice! These are my first waterfowl, so I am a newbie to all of this and appreciate any help.
They have two black shade cloths on them now, but I am searching for white or tan...in this heatwave, the black colors seems to be absorbing and radiating too much heat...
My pics are LATE...but everything is LATE in my life right now. Lol. Lots of things to do and not enough time!
My brother took sympathy on my goslings being forced to live in a house of my making...so he took over, built them a house in his shop, loaded it on a trailer and brought it...
