Has anyone ever used an online poultry veterinarian for their geese or ducks?
How was your experience with them, cost, and were you able to get a prescription from them for an antibiotic?
I have a goose with a few bumblefoot lumps because he is a dunderhead and was trying to fight with some...
I’m looking for Toulouse hatching eggs anywhere in Michigan that I can pick up. The weather right now can’t make up its mind and I feel like it would be too cold to ship at since night time temperatures are still in the 20s in northern Michigan.
Hello! I have 1 male French Toulouse goose named Jacque Goosteau. He's about 2 years old and I adopted him from someone who had two other Chinese geese selling as a pair for breeding. ( Didn't work out with the couple so they did something else with the geese ) I'm not sure if I'm looking to...
HELLO! The group of ducks that I have now are 3-1 years old. I've had some issues with predators coming around more than ever, of course. We've had the regular Cats, Fox's, Coyotes, Raccoons, Bald Eagle, Turkey Vultures, Crows, Rats, Mice, Possums, Deer, and as well as peoples dogs and I'm sure...
Ok, so I have a beautiful African goose named Nakira. She has been dutifully sitting on a clutch of 13 for about 33 days. At around day 21 a rouge chicken egg hatched and i found the poor chick dead in the nest.
Then, about a week ago we had a rotten egg explosion. I cleaned up as best i...
2 year old roman tufted gander. Had been fine up until a few weeks ago. Started crouching as close to the ground as possible without sitting down and stomping his feet as fast as possible, not running, just stomping. Then would wander off like that. Has started standing up like a runner duck...
Hey all 👋 I am currently incubating some goose eggs. I am on day 21 and for the past day or so one of the eggs has been wriggling a lot like every 5 minutes some times every 10 seconds or so and eventually takes a break. Is this normal? Should I do anything surely it can’t be getting ready to...
Just a tip for goose owners out there.
FORCING A BIRD TO REGURGITATE IS RISKY AS IT CAN CAUSE THEM TO ASPIRATE!
But If you can’t get them to a vet and if you need to do it in an emergency.....
Method 1.
Pick the goose up, hold them as far upside down as you can with one arm. Use your free...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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. I had a female and male geese, and they had 8 eggs. 7 of them has hatched, and the last one hasn't (probably because it's not a fertilised egg). and i thought all the goslings is fine, but when i saw the 7th gosling, i noticed that he can't walk properly. so we brought...
Hi guys, first time posting here.
Just wondering if anything could be wrong with one of my geese because shes stopped washing herself in the last week or so. She seems to be acting normally but instead of getting in her bath she just stands outside it. Our gander is completely fine though and...
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...
