8 week old goslings leg problems.

[Billie jean]

So my ebden geese have 5 goslings all fine now about 7/8weeks old just starting to get feathers. 2 days ago I went out and one of the goslings kept laying down and falling over. Iv moved him in with my ducklings and chicks away from the adults a d other geese. Now he keeps flipping himself over onto his back and can't get himself back over and what looks like splayed legs... Any advice would be greatful. I know it may not be a good outcome tho.

Sorry to hear about your gosling.

A little bit more information about the gosling and your setup would be helpful to us narrowing down what it may be that affecting him.

What are they being fed, what are they being housed on, did you notice the gosling acting off before or was this sudden, have you had any problems in the past with your birds, if so what, a few pictures of their setup, and a video of the gosling flipping onto its back would be helpful.

In case you have a hard time doing so, to post a video here you'll need to upload it to a video platform like youtube or Vimeo, and copy and paste the link here.

So iv never had a problem before I have a very large indoor and outdoor area with a ponx that houses my geese ducks and chickens. My incubated ones are kept separate under a light, but he was hatched of by my breeding pare so left with them. Fed on a mix of chick crumb corn and poultry crumb along with veg ect most days thsys left over. It came on within a day. No illness or signs before hand.

What material are they being housed on?

And could you get some pictures and a video for us?

They have straw as a base and lots of places to nest ect but most of the time they all like to waddle in the puddles
