Is This Niacin Okay to Give Gosling ???
Hey! I have found myself thinking about getting a gosling, I was just curious as to if this niacin would be okay to give to them? And if so how much of the powder? I’ve just been trying to look for a cheaper alternative to brewers yeast. I also heard that using “nutritional yeast” is good as... -

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... -
When can I let my goslings free-range unsupervised?
My geese are almost 10 weeks old. They are both White Chinese geese. They have their own run and coop that they have access to all day long. At night, we lock them up in their coop since they are still young and we’d be worried if something might snatch them up during the night if they had...- HorsesRMe123

URGENT!!! What are some characteristics that can differentiate a male and female White Chinese goose?
My White Chinese geese are 9 1/2 weeks old. I really hope at least one is female. I notice that one of them stands tall, has a higher pitched voice, has a smaller vent, tends to be noisy and has a larger developed knob (the one eating grass in the picture). While the other likes to stand more...- HorsesRMe123

Goslings act fine, but can’t walk...
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...- albertthegoose

If a goose doesn’t want to be picked up much does that mean it is not imprinted?
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.
