Dehydrated gosling?

[BrandySC]

My 2-week-old gosling drinks constantly. He drains the bowl in his crate and spends his outside time drinking out of puddles. I just want to make certain he's not dehydrated. Is there a way to check? He's not too hot, he stays in the house at room temperature and I only turn his heater on if it drops below 60 or after he swims. Thank you.

Sounds like normal behavior, I don't know how to check if he's dehydrated but what you described sounds completely normal, Goslings go through water like crazy lol

That's what I figured but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thank you!

Goose are waterfowl so dehydration would be rare.
