Fat pilgrim gosling?

[TwistedTayy]

My two pilgrim goslings are going strong at 5 weeks but the female is looking rather plump. I was accidentally about a week late in mixing in maintenance feed with their starter which I do for the ducks they’re going out with but they had access to the ducks bowl during the day. I do about 1/5 maintenance 4/5 starter and increase maintenance every 1.5-2 weeks But I started later with the goslings for some reason... lost track of time I guess. Maybe it’s just her reproductive system forming Cause the male seems fine. They mostly eat grass anyways.

Lol the best way I can describe it is that she’s wearing xxl baggy mc hammer looking sweatpants and the male looks like he’s wearing some trim fitting joggers

Ah - female Pilgrims develop characteristic fatty lobes (2), making them look like they're wearing bloomers.

My female pilgrim is just like that, it's perfectly normal.

HA! ok well thats good, I was laughing so hard writing that post but thats honestly the only way I could think to describe it and now every time I look at her, thats what I think of. Its got the making of a pretty good meme I think
