    Rescued Gosling - Please help us decide what to do with it!

    UPDATE! Baby is back with mom and flock. Mom and flock showed up a little while ago honking up a storm and looking right where we had rescued her from. We did not have the heart to ignore her, so we reunited her with her baby. Guess we will let mother nature decide the fate of baby. This...

    Rescued Gosling - Please help us decide what to do with it!

    Because based on past observations, I think its chances of survival would be pretty slim if I did that at the size it is now. This flock of geese have never successfully raised their babies to adulthood on this lake for whatever reason. We have never seen their babies live past the size this...

    Fly Control -- need suggestions

    Anyone have any suggestions for controlling the flies in the yard where my geese roam? Do chickens or any other animal eat flies that I could put in with the geese? Or anything we could buy at the local Walmart or Home Depot that would help? Thanks!

    Is it Angel Wing?

    What is angel wing exactly, what causes it, and how can I tell if my goose has it? One of my Sebbies, who is almost 2 months old , seems to have a wing that sort of droops and is constantly lifting it back up to a normal position. I noticed him doing this right after he hatched too. Is this...
