Goodmorning,
Last spring I purchased 2 geese. 1 Pilgrim Gander and 1 American Buff Goose. They both passed unexpectedly that fall. I have eliminated every factor and have come down to 2 reasons they could have passed:
Coccidia OR Nutrients Deficiency
Since they have passed I have looked over...
Came home from work today to find my goose in trouble. Delta (10wks old) crawled out of the pool and walked up to me. Stood infront of me and honked and honked and honked. I moved around her thinking she was hungry and she followed. Walked in front of me again and kept honking. I picked her up...
I purchased my geese in June. They had 2 breeds at the feed store, American Buff and ... well I can't remember.. I will be contacting them later this week to see what the other breed was. I picked out 2 geese from the brooder with the sign American Buff. Obviously they are not both American...

Any advice welcome!
Is this bumble foot or just an abscess?
How do you treat it?
Thanks in advance!

Well, supposedly it is spring. However it sure doesnt feel like it here in Minnesota! We have about 5in in most areas, and it's still coming down. I planned on getting the new coop and run set up this weekend, but it isn't looking like that's going to happen. Enjoy some pictures of our lovely...
I currently have 5, 4 day old Silver appleyards. I got them from a local farm and feed store who ordered them in for me. They are all doing good except 1. He/she seems to have part of the yolk not fully absorbed. (Its not the vent). Its black and seems to not be going down in size. Ive been...
