Celtic - Super pics! :D
The grey curly is a beautiful bird.
My SB gosling foot is flattened out just as it should after a couple of wraps! I think he thinks were trying to torture him, we have him rubber banded now. He ended up a bit spraddled after the sneaker!
Thanks again for the advice!
I have a SB Sebastopol that hatched this afternoon with a foot problem. One of his feet is clinched up, toes rolled under the bottom of his foot, and all tight together. You can spread the foot out and all seems normal but it folds back up. Any advice or link as to how to treat this would be...
Good to hear that he is up on his feet. I just had to band another gosling that hatched a couple days ago, he was banded for a day and he managed to get the rubber band off on his own. With just 24 hours he went from his legs straight out to his sides to walking and hopping a bit. Hopefuly your...
One of my first goslings this year had spraddle legs, I used the rubber band method that I found on a post here. After a couple of days with the rubber band he was up and around just like his other hatch mates. I can't remember the post but if you search spraddle legs, you should find...
