Help Needed Please!
I have a 3 year old Toulouse/Brecon Buff goose who was a little off colour around 3 weeks ago. She then laid an egg 3 days later and for the past week and a half has been been really withdrawn. We thought she could be egg bound as there were no further eggs after the first so I called the vet... -

Goslings of 2015 Hatch-a-Long
So interesting! My geese finished laying in early June; started late February. Just towards the end of the moult now but really just so weather/climate dependent. Apparently, as the weather has been pretty poor here in summer terms, the hatching rate for geese (not incubator) has been quite poor -

Worming geese?
Thanks but its not really practical for me to do that. I have wormed all the adults before and they are super easy but there are no manufacturer instructions on how young is too young unfortunately. -
Worming geese?
I have seven adult geese and a three month old gosling and am preparing to worm them all with Flubenvet but I can't seem to find the 'safe' age for worming my gosling. Does anyone have any idea when I would be able to do this please? Thanks -
Integrating goslings into a gaggle
I know; it's a really cool experience! My geese took around 2 days before they stopped the chasing and nipping and now they are very protective of the goslings. It's pretty amazing behaviour and I love watching how the relationship grows and changes each day. What I've also noticed is how greedy... -
Integrating goslings into a gaggle
Thanks Miss Lydia. The goslings have now been accepted by the group which is great.
