Gosling Is drooling?!

[Apostrophe]

I have a ( roughly) 3 week old gosling who seems to have been doing well and isn't acting odd, but recently has started suddenly shaking its head slinging thick drool like substance . Does anyone know what this means?

Does your gosling have a bowl deep enough to dunk his head in to clean eyes and nares?
What are you feeding?

Every time I’ve seen excessive salivation like this it was because of a health problem, Candida, gastrointestinal issues, and asper.

How long have they been doing this?

Have you noticed bubbly runny droppings or dry hard crunchy droppings “constipation.” Have you noticed any orange red slime in the droppings?

It just started today, and they're droppings have been normal so far.

I think their bowl is deep enough, I've been feeding them Purina flock raiser at the recommendation of the feed store worker ( if you have recommendations for better feed I am totally open to it) I did take them outside yesterday for about thirty minutes to walk around and explore.

It could be a reaction to something then, have you seen them eat anything new or could they have? Is there any damp bedding or feed around?

I took them outside yesterday for about 30 minutes to familiarize them with the yard. And they spilled their water and food Friday night and I didn't see all the damp food till the next morning

Is your gosling still spitting up drool?

Flock raiser is a good feed. My only recommendation would be to supplement with some Nutritional yeast to make sure they are getting adequate niacin which is important for strong legs. 1Tab per cup of feed. at least till 10-12 weeks of age.

I haven't seen them do it again today
