One of the 3 Brown Chinese goslings i adopted not long ago has developed a sort of issue with it's legs. it is the biggest & oldest one, the icky lady estimated it to be about 1.5wks old when i got it(what do you think?).
It's legs (knees?) turn outward, Very obviously. it makes it very clumsy when walking on uneven ground or when it runs. it just looks very bow-legged. now i know geese and ducks all have that waddle look, inward turned feet but this babies legs just dont look right. could it be a hatching thing? bad nutrition? or just a deformity that developed?
He/She will stay as long as it doesn't worsen to the point of being crippling or becoming a big mobility problem for it.
Here is a video of it walking with it's 2 'siblings', they are younger & smaller than it.
