    Sick gosling - getting worse fast

    Thank you all for your help. The little one died this afternoon. So far it's sibling with the parents seems to be fine. I will try to source other feed. (Have a tiny Muscovy that hatched in the incubator 2 days ago)

    Sick gosling - getting worse fast

She's still eating and drinking but now seems to spasm (jumping up) as well. Do I go back to the Doxy-Max rather? Or something else? 3 stills directly after each...

    Growth on goose's beak

    I noticed a growth on the nostril of a goose a couple of days ago. It doesn't seem to affect or worry the bird. The goose is eating and running with the flock as per usual. They are fed mixed grain twice a day and have an early morning run to a field and then move to around the house where they...

    Hello from South Africa

    Am just outside Bloemfontein in the Free State in South Africa. There are 50+ adult chickens sleeping in the hen run outside and about 50 chicks. 20 adult geese and 2 little ones that keep escaping their pen - to their parents consternation. Luckily into the falcon-proof run and not outside...
