gosling and geese

Hello! After spending the last few days doing reading in books and online, I have a few questions about prepping for our spring arrivals. I'm in Wisconsin. Our birds will be all female; pets, layers, and garden keepers. We have 13.5 acres, primarily wooded besides the gardens. 2 acres are...

This gosling i have had always seemed to be the runt of the geese i have and has little interest in eating as much as the others. when it’s legs were compared to a goose of similar size it is clear the joints on this goslings legs were swollen. i can send pictures if needed but i need help it...

Wow, hello again Backyard Chickens. It’s been years and years but I finally have a coop again, and am currently raising 13 ducklings and one gosling, and it is so wonderful to see that this site is still a fantastic resource for all. New to ducks and our gosling, and very much in love.

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...

My goose when she was a Gosling!!!

Hello all, I have posted many times on here since we are new to owning geese. This time is another new question. Our baby is 11 weeks old and just within the last couple of days she is losing a lot of smaller feathers. Especially when it is bath time. We wanted to just make sure this is normal...

Hi guys! Hope y’all and your feathered families are well :) Sooo Kinder is now officially 9 days old. An absolute bundle of joy and a complete terror all rolled into one!!! :lol::love I think I may have accidentally hatched out a puppy. She chews everything in sight, leaves me poopy-presents...

Hey everyone! I’m new here and this site has been very helpful for us being new gosling parents. We found our baby about 3 weeks ago by herself with no mom and no siblings so we took her into our family. She has been eating fine and we are adding nutrients to her water but in the last week or so...

My goose is sat on a mixed pile of duck eggs and her own eggs, due to hatch this week. She’s a first time mum, and this is my first time with a sitting goose too. She has been very conscientious in sitting — has hardly left her nest— so her house is a bit dirty as I haven’t been able to get in...

Should i have anything to worry about when introducing goslings to a single african goose? I've read that usually ganders are what to worry about. Also I was thinking that since she is the only goose(4 ducks, 1 goose) that she might readily adopt the babies, but just want to make sure.

Before I get started I'd like to spoil the ending here because if you've found this post you're probably a Mama (or Papa) in the middle of a freak out just like I was. My 5 week old girl Lil Peep has made a full recovery this morning, she is up and walking like nothing happened, eating and...

A few months ago I bought four goslings after doing extensive research and I love them. Two Romans and Two Pomeranians. They’re about 3.5 months now, and I’ve been offered two more goslings, which are Chinese. They’re about 1.5-2 months old. I’ll be picking them up in a week, and I was...
