Shipping Ducks via Airlines
We recently rescued 5 flightless geese and a duck. We found a wonderful ranch with owners who want to adopt them, but they are in the next state over. We wondered if anyone has shipped a duck (and geese) and what the experience was like. Were there any problems or issues? Thanks for any advice! -
Travel with Flightless Geese and Duck
We wondered if anyone has shipped flightless geese and a duck via airlines? We rescued these sweeties and have found a new wonderful ranch but it is in the next state over.

New help for keel wound healing
Hi, We rescued a beautiful white Embden goose "Joey" almost two years ago now, as she was lame due to osteomyelitis, and kids were hitting her with sticks, stones, etc. Upon getting her examined, the Vet determined that she had a 6" long and 1" wide keel wound (on her chest area.).

Keel wound Treatment
My goose (Joey) has a keel wound (5" long by 1" wide) that has never healed, and the vet says she is around 9 years-- older, apparently. This open scabbed area she has had for as long as I have had her....It is like a pressure sore that debilitated people can get from lying in one spot for too... -

What kinds of things do geese do for play?
I have a new older Embden and am wondering what she would play with. She is a rescue so not sure about how to introduce that to her. She spends a lot of her time resting in her outside pen, eyes closed, or nibbling grass. She seems content but I don't know if she needs some sort of playfulness... -
