    SOS HELP! Baby ducklings and goslings dying

    Update 2 Sadly, our little girl goose passed today. She was very weak all day, minimally drinking, and not eating. We tried more dropper feeding with the electrolytes, as well as honey water, but she just never perked up. She had settled in for a nap and looked very serene, but sadly just didn’t...

    Thank you, it’s really hard to watch this happen. Per your suggestion, we just switched out all the cedar and vacuumed the area well. They could be suffering from an allergy or inhalation issue. The boys seem to be doing ok, eating like champs and drinking (and pooping and pooping). Our girl...

    SOS HELP! Baby ducklings and goslings dying

    We started them on cedar chips, and transitioned to cedar chips mixed with straw. We had an area of dry tarp (no chips) under the water feeder so the chips/straw wouldn’t get wet. We have a heat lamp, and now am questioning its application as I can’t remember where I purchased it. It is a...

    SOS HELP! Baby ducklings and goslings dying

    It doesn’t seem excessively hot, and they can move far enough away from it to not be under it. It’s pointed straight down, they sitting under it after water time.
