    Avian flu in Geese

    Hi all, so I took my little Joey (Embden x something goose) to the vet who suggested avian flu or something viral might be what's wrong with him. Does anyone have any experience with avian flu in geese? My goose has some symptoms, but not symptoms that I would think are common. He hasn't been...

    Did I misgender my African grey goose?

    My husband and I got sexed goslings from metzer farms last spring; we named the female African grey “Odette,” the male African grey “Goostav,” & the female white Chinese “Lucy Goosey.” Unfortunately we lost Lucy Goosey and (who we thought was) Goostav to a predator when the 3 were...

    How much should a 4 month old embden/czech goose weigh?

    Approximately, how much should the average domestic embden x czech goose weigh? How tall should it be? I think it's a female, but not sure.

    Very dizzy goose, maybe riemerella anatipestifer?

    Hi all, We rescued a goose about four months ago. In about mid January we suspect that he had an impacted crop, he was dizzy, falling over, had somewhat of an appetite (but couldn't stretch down to eat), and he couldn't put his head under his wing. At the time, I massaged his crop and helped...

    Very Dominant Sebastopol

    Hi everyone, it’s been a while. We picked up some geese 7 months ago when they were just little hatchlings. First time goose owner, hand raised and very very loved. Hormone seasons kicking up so obviously they’re going to act different, but I noticed our Sebastopol in particular is really...

    Ganders fighting!!!

    Hello, I've been having some problems with two of my Ganders. Their names are Gus and Puddles. Just yesterday they started fighting resulting in Gus getting a cut under his eye. I seperated them and took care of the eye injury which wasn't too bad. What I don't understand is why they fought in...

    Hi, so here's the story.

    Gus the gosling looks like his gagging.. is he?

    So Gus the gosling is 5 weeks old today, his grown so much it’s crazy to think he could fit in the palm of my hand only 5 weeks ago! (Even though he still likes to think he can still fit in my hand now). He has been doing this weird thing at random ever since he was born where he will open his...

    Deformed Sebastopol Geese

    We took in three Sebastopol geese and two of them have deformed wings. We have been told by Cornell’s exotic department and another vet that it is not angel wing but no one knows what it is. They act perfectly normal minus their wings are bent downward. They can stretch them out and lift them...

    Goose egg hatching, best incubators and methods?

    Hello All!:frow I used my nurture right 360 to hatch my first few goose eggs, and it worked great! Its too small to hatch a larger number of goose eggs, so I got a GQF cabinet incubator to be able to do more eggs from my flock. I was curious how seasoned hatchers hatch their goose eggs? During...

I have been taking her eggs but I have a flock of ducks and they tend to lay alongside her, somehow the last few days she has hidden a bunch of eggs and now there’s a stash of about...

    When will my goose’s eyes turn blue?

    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...

    American tufted buff with feather/skin “issue”..?

    Hi all, I have a new 2 year old American tufted buff and she seems to have some skin and feather issues :confused: She seems to fairly constantly itch her skin (more than just preening) and she has quite a few broken feathers. It’s strange, it’s like feathers that break in half and the...

    Sebastopol experts? Curious about my new Sebbies…

    Hello! Just got a new Sebastopol pair, they aren’t super curly, not sure if there is any way to tell if they are pure Sebastopol or mixed? I have pictures. Anyone have guesses? I’m more of a pilgrim goose lady so I just don’t have experience with sebbies. They have wonderful temperaments though...
