Cotton Patch Geese

[Miss Lydia]

And this is from a breeder? What in the world. Give your overall assessment. Do you think with some TLC he’ll be okay?

So this "breeder" says he's never been outside in the light...is why he's so white...and his eyes are kind of funny
So step 1 for me was a bath...really see what we're working with. I literally thought the poor thing would drown...zero preen whatsoever

 

[DiYMama540]

You can really tell in the pics how thin and weak he is. I'm hoping TLC is all he needs...but apparently it's going to be a much more involved adoption than I thought.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Why had he not been outside? Did they say? What is in his bath water? If he had any oils st all they are probably gone. Can he see?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Poor thing that is pure neglect and it’s not adoption it’s rescue. Do you have Poultry Nutridrench be sure to put it into his water along with b complex for his legs.

 

[DiYMama540]

Dawn soap...I know I know not great for the oils but he was caked in feces and mud. She said he said in her brooder box bc he didn't click with the rest of the flock and chose on his own not to come outside...I think he can see up close but not far away...and possibly blind in one eye

 

[DiYMama540]

Yes now I've got him bathed and he's preening I'm going down to TSC to get some supplies...nutridrench, you think VetRX may do anything for the eyes?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Really that is animal cruelty. Will he eat? Okay clean water from now on and once he’s feeling better he’ll begin to preen. Fresh air and some warm sunshine good feed and extra bits will hopefully get him going good after a few weeks. I bet seeing that poor thing was a shock.

 

[Miss Lydia]

VetRX is for respiratory. That's great he is already preening so he'll start spreading those oils.

Keep me updated please. Oh an how old and any idea on what you'll name him?

 

[DiYMama540]

Oh it's absolutely animal cruelty and believe me once I get him settled and taken care of I'll be turning it into her local authorities...she's not doing the cotton patch breed any favors if this is how she's keeping the line...
Ugh...thank you so much miss lydia!! I needed your calm wisdom at this moment!!
