gosling

Help!! Went to put the birds away and found this gosling laying in the yard not doing too well. He/she has perked up a tiny bit after putting her under the heat lamp for a little while....but still can't lift its head and has a messy rear end. Is this wry neck?? I tried holding her head to...

These are my 1 1/2 week old Sebastopol goslings. I want help sexing!

Hello all, I recently got a female goose for my male not that long ago, unfortunately something made him die unexpectedly, none of our other birds have had this, but now out female is alone!☹ I don’t know if she could stay alone or not, but I’m thinking of getting one gosling to raise with our...

Was looking through my gallery and came across baby pictures of 2 of my geese 🥹 I thought a thread where people posted pics of their birds as babies vs now would be so cute!! (Doesn’t just have to be geese! Can be any bird!!) I’ll start: here’s Polly and Sebastian a couple days after they were...

Hey all, Ended up with three of these guys in last couple of days. Were either abandoned or parents were killed have come from farming property. Unsure of breed but looks like photos of Egyptian Gosling however they are definitely not local to our area. (Sa, Aus) Would anyone be able to...

Hi guys! I was wondering what people do about geese in winter? Do you still let them access their ponds? Mine sleep in their kiddie pool (in an enclosed run) and I'm not sure if I'll have to introduce them to a building to sleep for winter. I'm in NC usa so we don't get super harsh winters by...

So our Sebastopol who’s 3 months old hurt her wing on Tuesday getting out of the little pool since she fell in without meaning to. There was one feather down which was causing her some pain when I moved it up but when I got back home on Friday it had disappeared and my mum said that since it...

Hi guys! One of our goslings took a tumble into the little paddling pool as she’s quite clumsy and really hurt her wing getting out 😢 she can move it but there’s an awkwardly placed feather that seems to be very painful for her when I touch it and her squeals sound quite hoarse so I’m very...

HELLO! I am brand new here but have been DEVOURING everything from this forum trying to hatch this gosling I was given!!! Everyone here is so helpful, so I figured I'd give it a go! I am freaking out because I've fallen in love with this little guy and want him/her to hatch SO BAD- but...

Here is our polly getting as close as she can after crying to come sit on my lap lol. She’s a super cuddly Sebastopol goose and can’t get enough attention! Sometimes I consider bringing her into my room on a night to cuddle on my bed with me like a cat

They are about 5 weeks now, we mainly feed them waterfowl starter, lettuce, and they have access to grass. The thing is we feed them quite a lot of lettuce as they just really love it and I mean adore it, it’s all they want really! they look quite large when they lay down so I’m really worried...

Our gosling was found on its back soaking wet and struggling with its legs by the edge of the pond. We are based in the United Kingdom. We dried her off been force feeding her and making sure she gets lots of water. She must be around 4 weeks old maybe older. She can’t walk at all she...

We rescued a Canadian gosling from our pond in our back garden. The family migrate here every year. The gosling was found on its back soaking wet and struggling with its legs by the edge of the pond. We dried her off been force feeding her and making sure she gets lots of water. She must be...

She turned 6 weeks yesterday. Little Midge started showing signs of delay in development some days back, falling behind her fellow goslings. She soon became unstable on her feet. This led to full blown instability and near complete loss of balance. Sometimes even ending stuck on her back. We...

Hello everyone, My husband recently asked if we could expand our flock of geese to include some Pomeranian and Sebastopol goslings. Of course, I had no problem accepting his request. I went on a 10 hour round-trip journey yesterday to acquire both breeds of goslings from two separate breeders...

Hello everyone, I recently went on a journey to pick up some Pomeranian goslings. I did get three of them, but I also came home with two mystery goslings as well. The woman I bought them from raises Pomeranian, Sebastopol, Tufted Roman, and Toulouse geese. She said she keeps her goslings...

Can anyone tell me if these African goslings are male or female?I know it’s a long shot but thought I’d ask. They are around 3/4 weeks old. One has a much more pronounced “knob” than the other.

they can barely support their heads too and isk what to do

Beautiful and one of the most calm and friendly breed of geese. Ages range from 8 weeks to newly hatched. While geese do not lay as many eggs as layer and dual purpose chickens, they are more hardy, more predator resistant and forage a lot on grass saving substantially on feed bill. These...
