    Glad to hear you got some keep us updated on how her foot looks, I'm thinking you probably won't have to open it again just keep soaking and apply the iodine about every 3 days.

    I used 2 cups of ES to a 2 gallon bucket of water but start with 1 cup because you can't fill the bucket up all the way anyway or they will spill the water out. I did use 2 cups with my gander when he had swelling from a bee sting, on my chickens i used 1 cup in a small half gallon bucket. Can't...

    When I use the ES soaks I just put it into a bucket with warm water about 2 cups to a bucket about 2 gallon of warm water and put both feet in that way they are standing better, then I just sit with them to keep them in, then you don't have to worry about them drinking the water. Awesome...

    So when will you be able to pick him up since breeding season is starting it would be great if you could get him soon. How old is the gander? and what has he been living with ? lol

Once you bring him home put them somewhere with fencing betweem them so they can get use to each other and she begins to realize she is a goose, I had to make a screen out of plastic poultry fence so I could let them sleep together, Sam would scare Missy so...

    Did you raise her from a gosling? I have a Toulouse goose i got her when she was 4 months old, barely had any interaction with people so she isn't near as tame as my gander that was hatched here by my Muscovy duck. She is lovely and so are her duck companions.
