Feeding New Goslings

[Ganders]

Hi,

I've just hatched to gorgeous Sebastopol goslings and wondered how quickly do they need feed and water?

Also how long can they stay in the incubator before moving?

Thanks for your help!

Hi

Glad you could join us here! Congrats on your new goslings I'm afraid I've never hatched goslings but I'm guessing that as soon as they are dry and fluffy they will be ok to move out of the incubator and to the brooder.

Hope it helps you out. Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC

Thanks for the help. Both are in brooder now and all nice and fluffy

I do have one question tho - one seems to have a problem with keeping it's legs in, is this normal or does it need some help? Thanks
