    HELP! Last chance trying to treat my sick goose.

    Forgive me for the scattered timeline, my brain is not thinking straight at the moment. My goose is 2 months old and 4 days ago starting showing symptoms.

    HELP! Goose with possible respiratory infection with strange symptoms

    One of my geese recently became pretty ill over the past few days. A month ago both of my geese had a respiratory infection and was treated with Baytril.

    Giving enrofloxacin (Baytril) a second time?

    I treated my geese a while ago for a respiratory infection with enrofloxacin, symptoms got a lot better but never fully cleared after the 5 days. They are still having mild symptoms and I’m unsure if I should give them the same antibiotic again now that some time has passed and it hasn’t cleared...

    HELP! Correct dosing Baytril/enrofloxacin

    I’m attempting to treat a respiratory infection in my 2 goslings. I have (Baytril) enrofloxacin 10% powder, meaning for 100mg of powder only 10mg is enrofloxacin.

    Gosling breed identification

    Back in march my mom brought home goose eggs from someone who was giving them away to eat. I’ve incubated geese before and she thought I’d be interested in hatching them. We were unsure if they were even viable but I put them in the incubator and a few days later we had veins. The person who...

    HELP! Gosling with Infected feather follicle?

    I feel like my goslings are falling apart with my frequent post. But today I noticed my 7 week old Chinese gosling’s wing was red and swollen. Last week I treated him for Angel wing and this was not present at the time, and I haven’t noticed it until now so I believe this is new. The feathers...

    HELP! Prolapsed naval/unabsorbed yolk in gosling

    I hatched this baby last night at 3am (12 hours ago). I noticed as soon as he hatched there was an issue and after doing research I decided to place him in a cup to keep him from flopping around and injuring his naval any further. He’s been in moist paper towels in a cup in the incubator for 12...

    Advice for late hatching geese eggs

    I’m currently in lockdown with 2 white Chinese geese on day 32. Before I put them in lockdown I noticed their air pockets were a little smaller than I would have liked to see. Now I’m worried they won’t have enough oxygen from their internal pip to their external. So far no visible movement or...

    Goose incubation air sac development

    Hi everyone! I’m currently incubating 2 white Chinese geese, and have some concern about their air sac development. I’m incubating them at 100.5 (still air) and at 55% humidity (ranges between 50-60% at times). I marked them on day 10 and 15, but compared to research I’ve done they seem to be...

    How do I keep ducks from destroying grass?

    I’ve had my ducks for about 6 months now and I’m having a hard time keeping the grass inside their enclosure. I know the water from their pool has a poor effect on the grass, but even areas away from the pool are becoming bare and muddy. I expected there to be some loss/damage to the grass...
