Dead gosling, and one not looking very good! Advice?

[DUCKGIRL89]

Found my male pilgrim gosling dead this morning, and the female looking not so hot! Its also seems she has some straw up her nose?

I'm lost at what I'm suposed to do for her. The duckling that was being brooded with them is fine, kinda sad. But nothing wrong.

Also, her poo is runy, would that mean anything?

What are they being brooded in?
What is the temp in the brooder?
What is their age?

They are eating unmedicated chick started and I put brewers yeast in once a day.

Somwhere around 90, they are never under.in though... Except at night.
a couple weeks old. 3 I think. Need.to check the date they hatched.
their water is offered in a mason jar waterer thing. Do you know what I mean? And food is offered in a sour cream dish lid.

The water is not deep enough for them to dunk and get the entire head in. They have to be able to dunk the entire head and mason jar poultry water containers are not big enough.

Goslings will nibble and attempt to eat everything from string, to staples to hay and straw. These things can become lodged in ther crops causing issues.

Ok, I will give them a bowl instead. Thank you!

Interesting. Is there anyway I can get the straw out of her nose? Or is giving her a bowl good enough?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

It may or may not require help. However I wouldn't even begin to give advice on it without seeing the gosling, or know what equipment you have and your skill level for doing such a thing.

 

[DUCKGIRL89]

I don't want to even try. I might hurt her, and not even know. I gave her a bowl of water though and shes blowing it out.

Can you take a close up picture of the nostril? If there is a piece of straw sticking out, can you gently pull it out? Or are you seeing it lodged inside?

 

[Enchanted Sunrise Farms]

Oh, good she's clearing it on her own.

Are you offering them greens? Geese need greens from a couple days old. My younger goslings that aren't out on the grass during the day get romaine lettuce several times a day.
