Hi all, I have 5 Sebastopol gosling's about 10 days old. All hatched under their Mama. I have one that is always training behind the others, his throat is noticably skinnier than the others and he is missing his feathers on his chest. He's the same size as the others, maybe a little fatter...

Hello.
I have a pair of black australian swans. They have attempted 4 nests since December of last year. I had them a year before this. The first nest she laid 9 eggs, and I let them do it alone as most of my birds (peafowl, geese, chickens, ducks) seem to know what they are doing. I guess...
