goose

I have three 2 month old Chinese geese, that have their own little pool. This happened about a week ago as well and again today so I'm thinking maybe over heating but it seems weird for it to be off balance, anyway one of them lost its balance and was flapping its wings falling over and calling...

Hi, I have some Chinese geese and they were handled a lot and brought up around my dogs since they were 3 days old and started chasing my dogs away and biting them since they were only a week old. They were brought up around them and are now 2 months old and bite my dogs and make them yelp so I...

Can somebody please help? What number of males/females do we have? Sorry I couldn't get a video of them talking, they are very quiet.

I have two 18, almost 19 week old White Chinese geese. I believe we have one female and one male. Daisy (the one we believe to be female) is 8.6 pounds and has a much smaller knob than Oliver (the one we believe to be male). Daisy has a quick, lower pitched honk. Oliver is 9.8 pounds and has a...

Hello everyone, while my husband was changing his oil on Thursday, my goose Abby was hanging out around us and just as fast as I ran to the house to answer the phone, and my husband was wiping his hands off because the phone call was for him, my Abby plopped herself right down in the oil pan...

We're new to poultry and water fowl keeping, and want to make sure they're all healthy! Is this black-ish growth anything to be concerned about on our 4mnth old goose? Maybe bumblefoot? It doesn't seem to come off with water and gentle rubbing. We're base in SE Qld, Australia.

I noticed some swelling under my goose's chin today so I checked out her mouth to make sure she didn't eat anything ridiculous, like they do, and what I found was odd. It almost looks like the fleshy bit under the tongue (lingual frenulum) was torn and is possibly infected? I don't have a lot of...

I noticed an odd thing today that I've not seen my geese do before, I let them out to eat grass and a couple of them kept doing a motion to rub their head/neck on the grass in between eating pieces, the only way i can think to describe it is as if they were 'marking', like how a cat rubs its...

Hello all! It has been a little while since we last posted. Our girl named Peeps is coming up on 5 months next week! She has a lot of cat siblings and I wanted to share what she has become attached to in the last week or so. I saw some “anti-anxiety” beds for cats online and I had to grab a...

Hi, I am considering raising Pilgrim or orpington geese. Eventually, I want to raise both. I just want to know if you have any tips regarding these breeds or other breeds that are docile. :)

Hi! I'm from New Zealand and a wild bird enthusiast. My partner and I have been regularly feeding this very cute goose when we go on walks and we are unsure what its sex would be/its breed. It's definitely an adult as it's hung around the area for about 4 years now. We assumed it was a male...

Hi, it's my first time incubating goose eggs and around day 25 one of them died, I opened it up and everything looked normal to me, what do you think caused it? There's 2 that have hatched today at day 32 and another 2 that have externally pipped and 1 that's still alive but the air cell is...

I just found Dandelion (gosling) with this deep cut on her chin, it’s already swollen but she wasn’t like this when I checked on her two hours ago. I’m still trying to figure out how this happened, I don’t have money for a vet so any ideas on how to treat this myself is appreciated. I thought...

I am here hoping some experienced goose parents can give some more insight or advice. I’m pretty sure I have a handle on the situation but all the knowledge I can get is critical. My goose Lester was showing signs of severe dehydration (live in south Florida, it’s hot). He could not hold his...

Parsnip has had an ongoing illness or illnesses since last year, it started with his bill changing color, he was expieriencing symptoms of liver disease and/or pancreatitis, the two other threads addressing that are here...

Hi, sad day for us today - one of our 2 year old, female Embden geese passed away in the night and was found dead in our pond. She has been unwell/borderline lame for a few days - we treated for worming when lameness was spotted (4 days ago) and gave vitamin boost daily since, sadly it didn't...

My geese are almost 10 weeks old. They are both White Chinese geese. They have their own run and coop that they have access to all day long. At night, we lock them up in their coop since they are still young and we’d be worried if something might snatch them up during the night if they had...

My White Chinese geese are 9 1/2 weeks old. I really hope at least one is female. I notice that one of them stands tall, has a higher pitched voice, has a smaller vent, tends to be noisy and has a larger developed knob (the one eating grass in the picture). While the other likes to stand more...

Hello, My sweet goose got into a scuffle with a dog & fortunately came out relatively unscathed. The only issue is the lower part of her bill has a protrusion that was not visible before. There was never any blood coming from it and she seems to be eating and drinking completely normally, but...
