    RIP Beep beep

    Hi guys, a few of your here will know our story, so for those of you that did, I just wanted to let the community know that this morning, little Beep went to sleep; I don't know what happened, if he had a virus or bumped his head but he had experienced several Grand Mal seizures, and as you...

    Coccidiosis

    One of my boys feathers are looking really badly ruffled, at first, i thought it was him probably just shedding and getting ready for his winter plumage, but, ive also noticed he is significantly lighter than his brother at the moment and im starting to get concerned; Holdereads book says that...

    Dropped tongue or not?

    Does my boy have dropped tongue and how do i treat it? Ive managed to look inside his mouth but i cant see a buildup of food under his tongue, but i did see what looks to be a scab or something...so maybe he has eaten something that has cut the inside of his mouth a little bit?? I can try...

    House goose flooring

    As many of you know I have a pair of house geese, they're adorable little loves except for the poop (and I have carpet!!!! ewwww!!) I'm actually planning to lay vinyl down in the near future, but it's been a financing problem that's delayed it; I wanted to know though, if a surface like vinyl...

    How do you keep away flies?

    I've got one of those bug zappers which attracts them with UV light but i've mostly caught bumblebees with it, which i felt really bad about - the flies don't seem all that interested in it so i'm not sure it really works. Any other ideas from you guys? How do you keep the flies away?

    Pain Relief?

    Don't worry! No injuries here at the moment. I'm just putting together a goose first aid kit incase anything bad ever happens; I want to be prepared. I've already got all sorts of bandages, tweezers and gloves along with some neosporin and brudeline antibiotic cream but I'd hate to think my...

    What's the chance of my grass growing back with two geese?

    Approx 300 sq foot which was a lush green garden when I got them but now it's a brown swamp. I re-seeded at the beginning of the week because we have had tons of rain over the last 7 days here in England - there's not really any other outside space for them so i'm hoping they won't chew it all...

    When can I expect molting season?

    My boys are coming up for almost a year old soon and they molted maybe 2-3 months after they were born; Since then, Norbie has singed his tail feathers on the fire (ooopsie) and has been walking around like an ugly duckling - I expected that he might re-grow them on his next molting but i'm not...

    Goose enrichment ideas?

    My goose enclosure has the basics of food, water and shelter and not much else... i've piled in a few sticks for them to play with and they havent bothered with the wiffle balls or bird toys i've hooked up in there. I'm concerned they're bored and i'd like to make sure my guys mental health is...

    Keeping standing water clean

    I just got a huge 220 Litre pool for my birdies because it's getting a pain having to bath them all the time; It's going to sit outside and I wondered if there was anything that I could put in it that was non-toxic and safe for my geese that would keep the water cleaner for longer???

    Submissive behaviour?

    So one of my ganders, Beep Beep, has started acting a little odd lately and I think it's submissive behaviour (Even though he still tries to bite me every now and again) i'd just like the opinion of some more experienced goose owners please? He used to let me stroke his head without too much...

    Do i need to clip or file my goose's claws?

    He is mostly an indoor goose so they probably dont wear down as much as they might outside in the wild - I don't know...is this even a thing?

    How do you deal with your trampled grazing space?

    I sowed a lawn for my two boys last summer and it was a nice lush green - Goose poop turned it patchy but still grazable and now a mixture of bad weather, rain and grazing has turned it into a grassless swamp. Do you guys re-seed your lawns each year?
