I recently got an adorable gosling, the lady said he was a week old maybe 2, and that he was an embden. When i got there, the parents looked like they had some light tan on them but i couldnt see well cuz they were busy puffing up and hissing at me lol. Anyways, i wasnt too concerned because the...
I have a 7 week old gosling with a wry neck. He is also smaller than my other goslings and has trouble with walking and balance. He's had the wry neck since he was 4 weeks ( which is when I started to treat him a mix of various vitamins like E, B1, and niacin) but it hasn't improved. I think it...
My family and I were camping this weekend. There was a gosling (I'd say about 3 months) that walked back and forth along the weeds for 2 hours and no mamma. It was getting dark and a friend said it probably won't make the night by itself so my girls and I got and and put it in a dog kennel...
Hi, I have two 9 week old rhode island red hens in an 8x8x8 round pen with coop inside it.
I really want to add a bantam silkie hen, but was wondering if a single bantam silkie could safely/happily live with large breeds?
Would the RIR pick on the silkie?
Would the silkie be confused/unhappy...
Hi,
I just became a goose mom! I was given 2 Toulouse geese that are one week old and I am getting such mixed advice on feeding! Could anyone help me?
1. They are eating non medicated starter crumbles that says it's for chicks, ducklings, and goslings. It is 18% protein, but it only says...
I have just received 2 new babies! They are female American Buff goslings and are 4 days old! They are so cute but I was wondering... at what age should I introduce them to our existing goslings who will be 7 weeks old in three days? Lilly and Amy are very large, and even though they may not...
I greatly appreciate any feedback I will receive as I am new to this issue with goslings! And "thanks" to everyone in advance for your help!
I will contact our hatchery as soon as I am finished posting because we received 2 goslings (3 days old) and one has what I believe to be, "scissor...
ok so I am new to hatching chickens and geese. So far I have hatched a happy and healthy 8 goslings and five chickens. My last gosling to hatch though I believe had spraddle leg but also something else was wrong with her as well. She was extremely off-balance she was always falling on her back...
I recently ordered a pair of Toulouse geese! I hope to raise goslings and sell too. I am willing to sell goslings/hatching eggs... I do not have any now but if you want any please let me know...
(I give a large discount if you buy hatching eggs)
I have a total of 9 geese eggs in a styrofoam incubator and today is the 20th day they have all been in the incubator, but the person I got the eggs from gave me 6 of the eggs and said a goose had been sitting on them for around 4-6 days. The person did not want any more geese so I immediately...
So we have a gosling about two weeks old and finally found another gosling companion. I'm finding a lot on how to introduce them to adults but not each other. Any ideas? Right now I'm straddling a baby gate so that they're separate but neither feels alone.
We've acquired a Canada Goose gosling who is about two weeks old and would really like to get him a companion, preferably female. I'm willing to do a little driving....
Hi Everyone,
If anyone has seen this behavior before and/or has any suggestions, I'd be so appreciative!
THE SITUATION:
I have a pair of nearly-4-year old Sebastopol geese. This year, my goose finally hatched a few goslings. Long story short, there were only two healthy ones -- female I...
Hey all, I just noticed this on poor Kami's foot. He does like to jump out of people's hands and I'm worried he injured himself?
It's puffy and feels like a blister. It is very hot. Could it be bumblefoot?
I'll call the very tomorrow-should I do anything tonight?
Two and a half days ago, the incubator got dumped. Long story. I lost mandarin eggs, and several Sebastopol eggs. Two were to hatch, and one was definitely killed. The other's egg looked like a jigsaw puzzle, but it did not hemorrhage as the other one, so I wrapped it on a paper towel...
I would like to start a flock of geese.. If anyone in upstate NY was any extra geese/goslings I would really like to have a pair to start my flock..... Thanks!
Last year we got a breeding pair of French Toulouse goslings. I'm thinking about ordering some more (perhaps two more females and one more male). Will this work, or would our adult gander claim any new females and pick on a new male? Or should I get them in pairs?
In the spring I’m planning on hatching ducks and geese together but I know there’s a good chance that the geese could all be ganders. Should I be concerned that-if that is the case-the ganders might try to pair with the duck hens? If the problem arises can it be fixed by getting the ganders...
