    Mites, lice, chickens and goslings

    Help! My gosling injured her eye

    Unfortunately we had to put her down. She had nystagma in her good eye, which meant she had brain damage and swelling. Her chance of returning to health was less than 10% even if they hospitalized her. Thank you for your help.

    Help! My gosling injured her eye

    She is making noises a bit now. But I can't get her to drink or eat. She tried to move a bit but it didn't work well for her. It's almost like eye neck.

    Please advise. My 4 week old gosling ran into chicken wire with her head and a wire got her eye. She is laying oddly and rubbing her head on her back periodically. What do we do?

    Just beginning . . . Should I buy an automated door for the coop?

    We LOVE our auto door! It reopens for a second chance to allow stragglers. Solar powered and runs off photosynthesis to open/close door. You can set a timer if preferred. Best money we have spent on the kids. Also, if you're at a movie or out of town for the night, no need to stress!
