My male pilgrim goose is 9 weeks old now and he is getting more beautiful each day! It seems like he is close to full grown. I have seen pictures of adult male pilgrim geese with very blue eyes, but his seem to be very dark still, and I was wondering at what age I should expect to see his eye...

Hi guys, our female pilgrim goose is trying to fly and we are very nervous about her taking up flight and over the fence. We will clip her wings when she gets older, but everything I’m reading says NOT to clip wings too soon and that now is too soon… right? In the interim, what can I do? We...

Hi guys, I know this is generally not a turtle forum but I figured I’d ask since it has been so helpful for my geese. I found this in the turtle tank this morning. It is probably like 8-9 inches long and looks obviously like a giant worm. Never seen anything like it and I’m freaking out...

Hi all! My goslings are 12 days old and getting HUGE! We are moving soon to a new house with a chicken coop in a couple weeks, but for now we are using a brooder in the garage and feeding them all sorts of different greens as well as a non medicated chick starter/grower. There is a little...

My goslings turned 1 week old today. Hooray! So we set up a camera so we can spy on them in the brooder, and I can’t believe how active they are and that they are never even napping for more than like, 30 seconds lol. I understand that geese do not have a sleep cycle the way humans or my other...

Hi again! I found a lot of good posts about what goslings CAN have and the treats they seem to really enjoy, but I want to know a couple more specific questions. At this point (day 5) we have not given them any treats yet, and I understand that I need to I introduce grit when we start giving...

Hi guys! My goslings are 5 days old today :). I don’t see a thread on this yet… when can I let them in the water? I’m want to do at least a very low fill in the tub just so we can give them a little bath (they’re very dirty - my boyfriend tried to clean their little butts with just some paper...

Hi all, my household consists of two dogs (a Yorkie mix and a Pomeranian), two cats (get along extremely well with the other animals, but don’t really get along with eachother lol), a turtle, and two lizards. I recently lost my hedgehog (my heart is still broken over that). I’m trying to...

do goslings like toys? any suggestions? anything that would be unsafe and I should avoid? being a pet owner of multiple different types of animals, toys for the babes are a frequent purchase in my home. wasn't sure what the deal was with goslings though. I am seeing that they like mirrors...

Hi guys! should my gosling brooder have a house or a cave? I don’t see anything that says they should, but all my other pets have some form of a little enclosure and that’s why I ask. My lizards both love their caves and my hedgehog slept in her house every night. I put my hedgehogs old...

Hi all, any advice on imprinting a gosling that shipped out on Monday, but hasn't arrived yet (it's almost 12 noon on Wednesday). I'm pretty convinced now they won't come until tomorrow morning. But everything I am reading says that essential imprinting occurs during the first 24-48 hours of...

What time do you usually get the call to come pick up your chicks/ducklings/goslings? I have read that most often, the call comes before 9AM and before the PO even opens. I have already called the nice lady at the PO twice (yesterday and this morning) and she’s on the lookout, but I’m real...

Hi, I found this site to be extremely helpful while I prepared for welcoming two goslings into my home this week. They shipped yesterday, and I am freaking out and worrying so much about their arrival. I made a long post about it earlier...

Hi all, I am new here and I have found this forum to be very informative and helpful so far, so I figured I'd join and make a post. My boyfriend and I ordered two pilgrim goslings (a male and a female) from Metzer and they shipped out Monday night from CA. I live in Long Island, NY. I got a...
