The 4 she hatched have been out with the flock the last couple of days and this morning, when I let them out, I realized one gosling was limping a little.

    Having geese with chickens

    2.5 week old gosling wing feathers look good?

    Is this normal wing feather growth for a 2.5 week old? I don’t think it’s Angel wing as her are perfectly tucked and she has been on the correct food. I know the sheaths grow out first before the feathers just want to make sure this is looking good?
