Can a gosling with angel wing swim with his wing wrapped?

Hello all, one of the goslings on our property has just started showing angel wing. If I wrap his wing to his body, is he still safe to wander and swim with the others? My husband is worried that he could drown.

I agree with your husband, I would not allow the gosling to swim while it's wing is wrapped.

Thank you. We are thinking we will bring him in overnight with his wing wrapped, then let him back out in the morning unwrapped. I wouldn't want to separate him from his family for a whole week.

Good luck and keep us posted!
