    Gander with beak issue...

    These marks showed up on my gander's beak a few days ago. Does anyone know what they are from or what they are? They are only on one side of his beak and all appeared on day while he was playing in the mud. His beak is wet in the pic.

    Help! Torn claw!

    Last night I arrived home to discover my male was bleeding from the foot. It appears as though one of his claws got caught on something and is torn. The bleeding eventually subsided but my concern is with infection. My birds are currently in their winter house and it isn't the most sanitary...

    Embden Geese won't bathe! Any advice?

    My ganders are filthy and don't seem to want to bathe! They have a pen they go in at night with a small pool in it and generally bathe in there. I replaced the pool yesterday from a pink one to a blue one which is slightly larger. (I needed the pink pool for my pot-belly pig). This morning...

    Eggbound peahen? HELP!

    I have a peahen who has apparently been "straining" the majority of the day (I just got home from work). She's a year and a half old and this may be the first egg she's tried to lay. At least I think that's what the problem is. Right now she is up on a perch, head down, tail down and...

    Goose or Gander?

    I was given 2 one year old Embden geese a couple of weeks ago. The assumption was that they were females HOWEVER I'm now being told that they've never laid eggs so perhaps I've made an incorrect assumption. How do I tell the difference? They were freerange before they came to me so may have...

    A new day, a new issue...string wrapped around ankle!

    So..these are my first geese and again, I know very little about geese. I've had them a few days now and this morning noticed this: I've never picked up a goose and clearly this has to come off...suggestions appreciated on how to approach this. She's pretty cranky on a good day...

    What can I NOT feed geese?

    Hi, I've had my embden geese for a couple of days now and am having a rather difficult time finding out what is NOT good for them or even potentially dangerous. I've given them grass clippings, little cracked corn, watermelon, romaine lettuce, and green pepper. They are a little anxious about...

    Help...neighbor gave me a pair of geese..I know NOTHING about geese!

    Hi, My neighbor gave me a pair of white geese. I know absolutely nothing about geese and the neighbor wasn't very informative. She said they eat weeds, grass, etc and in the winter she fed them oats?! They are both females, 1 year old. I have them in a 10 x 10 covered pen right now with a...
