Hi guys I have a gosling with leg issues. I know the general treatment is B3 which I have been doing for about a week now. I am seeing an improvement but he’s still unsteady while he’s standing. He can walk but gets tired easily. Right now I put two 500mg niacin capsules in the water and I give...
Tuesday will be six weeks old tomorrow. The last few days her right wing tip feathers have been growing much faster than the left and are angling out. My other three goslings aren’t having this issue “at least they aren’t yet.” The others are American Buff X Toulouse mixes, Tuesday is a Roman X...
Hello!
I’m Sami, an animal lover who particularly enjoys birds of all types.
I’ve worked as an animal care tech for raptors and birds ranging from wild to domestic to exotic of all sizes (among other animals) for a few years before leaving for college. This past spring, I raised three lovely...
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...
My ten day-old goslings are falling ill, and I don’t know of what or why. They are currently on a chick starter formula with supplemented brewer’s yeast- not optimal, I know, but it is what’s available to me. They’ve also been receiving fresh grass with chick grit, oyster shell, and occasionally...
Hello - I have three ducklings that I hatched to fill out my mallard flock. One of my Chinese geese has been broody but not successful in hatching. I’m going to have to break her from her nest soon I think. My other Chinese goose and her gander have 4 goslings now and I’m feeling bad for my...
I have a month old gosling who has recently been panting and drooling a lot at night. He doesn’t do it all the time but last night scared me when this went on for over an hour. He was in my bedroom so it wasn’t too hot and he had plenty of clean water available. My current vet is out of town at...
I have a gosling that I initially thought was a buff, but I noticed he has blue eyes.
My two girls that are the possible moms are a Classic Roman and an American Buff. More than likely the Roman is the mom.
The possible dad’s are Leo and Parsnip, French Toulouse, and French Toulouse?
Leo is...
what on earth is this thing i found on my goslings butt?
also is it normal for goslings to sound almost like theirs kissing or they have water in their nose when the breathe? sometimes it's even a small clicking noise? i've never raised a gosling before and just don't know about what their...
I’m raising four baby geese, they all hatched at different times. My two oldest imprinted pretty well on me I thought, but are still reliant on eachother as siblings. (I can’t say much for the other two yet as they just hatched in the last few days!) They follow me around from inside the cage...
hi please give me all for the advice you have. i just got a baby goose that is lame and can not walk. we don't know why and he is by himself so i hope he won't be lonely. i have no idea how to raise a baby goose much less one that can't walk so please give me everything i need to know from heat...
We have a male and female French Toulouse pair that are four years old. They've never been successful hatching goslings but we had high hopes this year! The first year, one gosling hatched but by the time we knew, it was dead and she had abandoned the nest. No idea what happened. Last year she...
I'll try to explain as much as I can, so be patient.
But I have now 1 week and 2 days old goslings, 2 are the same breed, one is a different one, but they all came shipped together and have been siblings, pretty much, ever since. However one of my yellow geese, (I can't remember names, I'll ask...
Hello everyone!
I have a quick question about my 4 week old American Buff Gosling. We got them 3 weeks ago, and they are very well and happy, but my male gosling (Liam Geesan) has, what I think, is an under developed wing. I heard about angel wing, but I don't beleive that is the problem...
Hi I posted this originally here but then found the emergency thread. My gosling was born late last night and seemed strong at first and has been up until now. I noticed it’s right eye looked like it had goop or something very wrong with it sticking out of it (pictures in link at top) and now it...
So I had a few goose eggs in my incubator, and the first one hatched last night. It had a yoke sack on the outside which has been half way absorbed by now after putting the gosling on a damp paper towel in the incubator, but I just noticed that it hasn’t opened it’s eyes and one definitely looks...
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...
