Cross posted on the Geese board but thought I might get more replies here.
Hello all. We're very new to the chicken and geese world. We have two Roman Tufted Geese, about 4 months old. We think one is a girl (Pat) and the other is a boy (Bailey).
Bailey's head has been tremoring and he just seems like he's not feeling well. Spending a lot of time just sitting in their pool. I don't know how else to describe it. Maybe a bit off balance at times too? But the most noticeable symptom is the head tremors. We would be so devastated if something happened to him, as would Pat needless to say.
Some info that may be relevant: we did just move to a new house. They all did just fine, geese were fine, chickens still laying. The only difference we've noticed in them all is they're eating less but we chalked this up to more space and access to fallen pears from the pear trees in the yard. They did not have their swimming pool for a few days because we had to find the hose. I know that's not good, but I don't know to what extent it can harm them.
I'll be looking for a local vet that has this area of expertise as well, but wanted to reach out to those who are much more knowledgeable than I, as well.
I'm uploaded a video to Vimeo and will share the link in a comment.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

it feels very helpless just to watch and not know what to do. I may try a phone consult with one if they do that sort of thing.
