My young 4-month old Chinese goose has consistent leg trembling. This just started lately because a week ago he was fine. He is eating well, is playful, and seems fine except for the trembling legs. The trembling does not stop while he walks around and eats grass. I have others that were hatched at same time in same incubator but they don't have this problem. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I have raised hundreds of Chinese geese but have never had one with this problem.

What brand of turkey feed? I wonder if he has a niacin deficiency?
Not sure of the brand but I mix it with an organic brand. Turkey feed is higher in niacin than chicken feed. Wouldn't the others have had this problem in the past or in the present if the feed was a problem? I'll keep an eye on him and see what happens. No vets here that treat anything with feathers. :(
 
Just to be on the safe side why not pick up some Nutritional Yeast and sprinkle 1 Tab over each cup of feed you offer. No one knows why one out of many will come down with a niacin deficiency but it happens often. But is an easy fix. Also liquid B complex[TSC] it works even faster 1 ml over a tasty treat. Small amount of treat so the gosling gets full dose.
Hopefully if what your seeing is a niacin def. either of these products will get it under control.

Thank you. I will try that.
