    Can anyone tell me what day of incubation this goose egg is on?

    It has faint veins (more visible in person) and the embryo is about the size of a nickel. Thank you!

    Wild goose eggs in need of help - parents killed by hunter, externally pipped, no incubator

    Canada goose parents were killed by hunters yesterday and my friend brought the eggs inside in a box with a heater blowing on them. They externally pipped sometime this morning, so something like 12 hours ago. They have not made any progress since the initial pip. They are rocking around and...

    Duckling cannot walk, dragging leg behind him, please help

    (Not my duckling, posting for someone else) Hope it's okay that I posted on the injury section too. He's 13 days old, it began a couple days ago. Her vet won't see him unless it's a broken leg... There's no swelling and does not appear to be painful, but he cannot walk. He falls on his face and...

    (New England) What month do geese start sitting on eggs?

    From what I've read, geese usually start laying in mid February in the New England area - is that accurate? When do they usually start sitting on their eggs? Is it possible a goose would try to incubate their eggs this early in the year with it still being cold out? Thank you!

    Second best feed after Mazuri?

    From what I understand, Mazuri is really the best feed for geese. My gander loves it, my goose acts as if it's poison. She's been offered it basically her entire life, and still picks through to get the other feed and spits out any Mazuri she accidentally picks up. We currently feed her Nutrena...

    Eye/respiratory infection - Do scared ducks make a kind of huffing noise?

    Hi there, I have experience with geese but not ducks. I am in the process of moving a flock of ducks and geese who were apparently abandoned at a local pond to a sanctuary. One of the ducks, a Pekin drake, has what appears to be an eye infection but I'm worried it could be more than that. His...

    Fodder - how to ensure nutritionally complete?

    Does anyone else grow fodder for their geese? I currently give mine wheat and barley fodder as a treat, but I'd prefer fodder to make up the majority of their diet as I feel it's much healthier/natural for them. But I'm worried they could end up missing out on nutrients, is there a particular...

    What is the latest age a goose can develop angel wing? 5 month old sebbie

    Hi there, I have 6 month old Sebastopol gander (we think). About 1 or 1.5 months ago, his feathers started poking out and I thought it was angel wing. I've read that angel wing is most common in geese between 4 and 8 weeks of age but it can happen later on. I tried to wrap his wings for several...

    Undigested grass/lettuce in poop? Month old gosling

    My gosling is a month old and every time he eats grass or lettuce, it’s basically entirely undigested. He appears healthy otherwise. He eats Mazuri Waterfowl Starter but I think we’re supposed to switch to Maintenance soon? Can’t seem to find when exactly. He also has access to Chick grit at...

    Bedding for babies who eat everything?

    Hi! I did post this in the geese section a week or so ago but figured I'd see if anyone here has any ideas... I have a gosling who eats everything. Doesn't just chew/taste and spit out, actually ingests.. We just had a big scare with a rubberband that I dropped and in 1 second it was gone -...

    Gosling swallowed a rubber band, please help

    My 15 day old gosling swallowed a rubber band, like a medium/average size one, about 10 hours ago. It was cut, so it was more like a string. I spoke to the emergency vet when it happened and they don't see geese so wouldn't take him. They said that it should just pass through, but I'm really...
