Hi y’all. This is a post about the outcome of a strange mass a Sebastopol gosling was hatched with on the back of its neck. I’m posting to hopefully provide context and information for others who may run into this in the future or are dealing with it now. I did a lot of research in trying to...
Hi there. My 10 day old gosling has suddenly started making something like a clicky noise when it inhales and exhales. He has also been less active and quieter than before. Is it something I should worry about?? Also, I’m really struggling to keep it warm, any suggestions?
Hiya friends!
I’ve ventured into Goose World!
Our first two goslings were picked up yesterday, and in true TSC fashion, they’re not entirely sure what they are 😂 I feel quite confident the darker of the two is a Toulouse, but I am clueless on the lighter one! Can anyone help?
I did my best with...
I have a week old female gosling that suddenly isn't able to walk or stand. Feels like she's running a fever, her beak and her feet are hot to the touch she is acting like she's shivering, she is cleaning herself and talking but she hops like a frog instead of walks.
This is my first time...
I've got eleven hens and two roosters but am currently waiting for more hens, I know it's not a good ratio. I was looking on the Meyer hatchery site and saw a bunch of breeds of geese. I'd never get a single goose (even if I wanted to, Meyer has a minimum of 2), but I have some questions.
If a...
He's two weeks old and does the normal soft chirpy honks when he's happy, but squeals or peeps when upset. When should I expect to have these chirps turn into honks?
HELLO! I’m looking to for some buff Pomeranian & tufted Roman goslings. I stay in South Carolina. I don’t mind traveling. Please help! I’m so afraid to incubate. I’ve never incubated before.
Three day old gosling. I thought he just had an underbite but all the black on his beak is just not growing. Does anyone know what's wrong or how I can fix it?
My white chinese has had this spot on his face since I got him at 1 day old. It seems to be healing/getting smaller. Should I be worried? Is it permanent? Is he still show quality?
I have recently purchased two goslings (hatched a week ago). As I was leaving for work this morning I checked on them to find that the bulb on my heat lamp had blown in the middle of the night and the smaller gosling of the two had gotten in the waterer and was soaking wet and laying on its back...
Recently I’ve moved all 5 of my ducklings (ages ranging 4 weeks to 5 weeks) and I’ve had 2 goslings who are both 5 weeks old that I’ve wanted to introduce to the ducks
When they were a few weeks younger they would constantly try to hang out with the ducks on their own but I wasn’t able to...
So I recently switched my goslings over to waterfowl feed instead of all flock raiser. But looking at my gosling wings I’m a little worried about angel wing with the change in protein content. I cannot tell if it is just the way his feathers are laying or if he is starting to develop angel wing.
Hi everyone!
I just acquired two Sebastopol goslings and I have a few questions.
I’m pretty sure they’re mixed. They’re not breed standard, but they’re just pets so that really isn’t an issue.
Number one issue is one seems to have an issue with her crop. She is holding her head up like she’s...
My two goslings are starting to get their feathers and I’m trying to figure out what kind of geese I have and potentially their genders if anyone has any guesses. I think I have a male and a female and I’m sick between thinking they are Toulouse or African
The first two photos are of the...
I decided that I needed a goose or 5 to help alert me to issues with my Chickie-doos. My pyrs bark so much, and it’s never anything important, so I quit running to the window 8,000 times a day and night about 2 years ago. Geese should, from what I’ve read, be a more dependable alarm for...
My goslings, one 3 week and two just a day old started having clear watery poop today. They all were fine yesterday but now I'm a little worried. My 3 week old had some of the grain in it but the surrounding liquid looked like hand sanitizer consistency.
She was with another gosling (a friend's...
I’m trying to introduce new food to my goslings. So far I’ve given them chopped apples, strawberries, green peas, lettuce, various grasses, watermelon, blackberries, blueberries and mulberries. They only ate the watermelon, peas, lettuce and grass. Any suggestions to get them to try new foods? I...
This is one of the new goslings, they’ve had a few issues ever since they came such as being quite tired and sitting down a lot, but getting more active as now they’re eating a lot of grass and peas and lettuce alongside waterfowl feed… though when I look closer it looks like Walter has a sore...
