I got two goslings from Atwoods last week. They've been in a brooder with three chicks. They've been getting bald patches. It started on the wings and has grown to the necks and bellies. They're eating chick starter. What could be going on?
Also you need to switch them to a feed that’s suited to waterfowl babies or some kind of all flock or multiflock, look for something that’s at least 20% protein with extra niacin and other b vitamins, you can also get a b vitamin mix to supplement their feed if it doesn’t seem like enough.
Goslings and ducklings need more protein and B vitamins to develop than chicks, without either you’ll start noticing severe nuerological and developmental issues.
