    Looking for Dewlap Toulouse Geese - 3 Females - Eggs, Goslings, or Adults

    I'm also a victim of Larry's. I did get a nice pair of birds from him in 2018. I decided to get a second pair from him in 2019. He's had my $518 since August, and I still have no birds, just a whole lot of excuses from Larry. There is an entire facebook group filled with victims of his scams.

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    They all seem to be on the mend. All symptoms gone. No one wobbling, and no more squeaking while eating. No gaping mouths, head shaking or any symptoms of gape worms at all. Everyone is responding to the fenbendezole so far, and they have returned to their usual feisty selves! I will...

    Exhibition Dewlap hole in lower jaw! (pic attached)

    I think the poor guy is going to be okay now. I may have to continuously monitor his bill and tongue, but since I freed his tongue, the pouch under his bill is shrinking. He can hiss again and he's eating normally. I think it must have taken a day or so for him to regain full function of his...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    I did read that it is a five day treatment. I'm putting an herbal worm inhibitor in their feed too. I will probably follow up in 2 weeks with another dose of fenbendezol just to be safe. I think I lost a gander to gapeworm last year. We didn't recognize it. We thought he got held under water...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    I think I've figured out the gray bird's problems. Gapeworm!! I've been watching them eat and the three afflicted birds squeak when they swallow their feed. They do crane their necks and gape their mouths on occasion too. I wormed with fenbendesole yesterday, all symptoms are gone and only...

    Exhibition Dewlap hole in lower jaw! (pic attached)

    He's penned up and eating now. He is able to eat, but it appears to be difficult for him. He drinks funny too. I hope he can survive this. I do have a vet locally that will do surgery if it's an option.

    Exhibition Dewlap hole in lower jaw! (pic attached)

    I will try to get better pics when I have an extra set of hands to help me. He is eating now that I freed his tongue, but a lot of food is getting caught in that pouch. I just went out and pushed the feed out of it and lifted his tongue to see underneath. Basically he has the "string" that...

    Exhibition Dewlap hole in lower jaw! (pic attached)

    I'm starting a new thread as I think this particular gander's problem is unrelated to my other geese. I've noticed for some time that my buff exhibition giant dewlap gander (about one year old) was developing and orange, bill colored "growth" along the underside of his bill. It would come and...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    OMG, the saga continues. The exhibition giant dewlap that just started showing symptoms last night, well I'm not sure if his symptoms are related to the other bird's or not because things just got a little crazy! I've noticed that the underside of my dewlap's bill had sort of a small orange...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    I've decided to treat them for worms since I've covered most other bases. I gave them all Wazine in their drinking water yesterday. I'm starting the molasses flush right now. I do have herbal parasite inhibitors on hand too. I've given everyone activated charcoal too, just to be on the safe...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    I have 12 geese on about 7 acres of pasture that isn't grazed by anything else. I have had the main flock for 3-4 years now and have never had any issues. I've always let them graze during the growing season as their main source of food. They have no interest in grain or feed when they have...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    The youngest is about 3 months old, and he was fine tonight when I got home after dark. The worst one of the bunch is gone. I fear a fox got him because he was too weak. The other wobbly one is much better tonight, however I found one of my Exhibition giant dewlap toulouse wobbling too! I am...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    My geese free range on pasture and live exclusively on grass this time of year. I only supplement with feed when I'm trying to re-hab a weak one. I was concerned that they might be getting into something toxic in my big pasture with a stream and wetland area, so I've been pasturing them with...

    Please help! Wobbly adult geese???

    I have three geese out of 12 that continue to have bouts of loss of balance and coordination. They wobble and fall down like they're drunk. I bring them in, give them high doses of B complex and eventually they return to normal. I turn them back out with the others, and within a couple of...

    Quail stopped laying, can't figure it out?

    I think light was the issue. I have some chicks in a small section of the run and a heat lamp on them at night. I got three eggs yesterday and five today! :) I do think they might be molting too, there have been feathers all over the place.

    What would take an entire flock without a trace?

    Apparently people don't read the whole thread anymore. Thanks for your advice, but the ducks came back, only one missing. And I'm using trail cams to find out WHAT is killing my birds so that I can eliminate it. My birds free range and I wouldn't have them if I couldn't let them free range...

    What would take an entire flock without a trace?

    Thanks everyone for all your help. I went out and bought two trail cams and as soon as I get home I find seven ducks waiting for me in the barn! One duckling is gone and so is a guinea hen, but it's not nine birds like I thought! Mamma duck must have hidden the babies very well and not dared...

    What would take an entire flock without a trace?

    We had a fox last year take all my khaki campbells. He came back again and again. Got one each night and always left a carcass. I never had a fox take more than one at a time. Unless this is a family?

    What would take an entire flock without a trace?

    I have a big pasture pond for them. They have only recently ventured down there. Mom brings them back to the barn several times a day and was still bringing them in the coop at night (until last night) The babies don't even have hard feathers yet so I didn't bother checking the trees to see...
