Hi all, I hatched out 2 American Buff Goslings about 4 weeks ago with the parents. Friday one of the goslings couldn't walk so I brought it in. The other one is fine and is grazing with the parents. The disabled one today can stand on his own but when he walks he tilts forward and holds his wings out for balance. He is better than Friday, but still not normal. I can't find anything on this for what could be causing it, especially when the sibling is fine. Help?
 
From what I've read legs could be due to niacin deficiency - I'd get some brewers yeast and feed it to them. I'd also supplement their diet with defrosted green peas, too. It can effect each bird a bit differently.

Yes it can add it directly to their feed[ brewers yeast 1-2 Tab per cup of feed]. Usually with in 3-5 days you see improvement
you can also use Nutritional yeast just make sure it's not baking yeast.
