This morning at around 9:30 I went to feel my animals... My goose was no longer on her nest but I went over to count the eggs to see how many she had hatched... there was a very wet gosling that at first I thought was dead... It looked at me, kicked it's leg as if to say "I'm here, please help me" and I scooped it up, stuck it in my shirt and that is where it has spent the last few hours... It's dry now, but very uncordinated... I haven't much experience with water fowl, so I'm not sure if that is normal... Some chicks seem wobbly for a few hours and then quickly learn how to get around...I'm hopping I found this little one in time, but any suggestions would be appreciated... My warming incubator is about ready for the gosling to go into... I plan to feed it hard boiled eggs, I have chick feed on hand, but it's medicated... I don't think that is good for geese...
Any tips or pointers for raising a lone gosling are appreciated!
