Goslings of 2014 Hatch-a-long

[8GeeseALaying]

Ok, my goslings are 7 weeks old. One has a bad case of angel wing that I have been wrapping. I leave the wrap on for 3 days and take off because of their growth, I'm worried about cutting of circulation to his wings. His left wing is much improved but his right wing flops out as soon as the vet wrap is removed. None of the others show signs of angel wing. What am I doing wrong that his wing won't set right?
Also, when geese lay do you put them on laying feed like a chicken or just have a bucket of calcium available?

Could you get a pic of it? That would help so that someone can give you advice based on what it looks like.

The wing flops out, or is it just the feathers growing funny?

The whole wing tip flops out.

I rewrapped it last nigh. He pulled the wrap on his left wing off, but the wrap on his right wing is still on. Since his right wing is the worse of the 2 I don't want to take the wrap off. But I'll get a photo of his left wing before I reward it again.

OK, so to look at it, it looks like the new feather shafts are twisting the wing outwards? it´s just that there´s another problem they can get, which is dropped wing, where they can´t hold the wing up. Angel wing should be able to be fixed easily, but at 7 weeks, maybe it´s been left a bit late? It tends to happen around a month old. Maybe by now the feathers have already permanently twisted the wing. But you can try again, leave it on longer. Even if you change it every few days, put another wrap on it and try it for a week. See if you succeed. You can but try.

p.s. it´s most common in the right wing for some reason.

I have been treating it for 2 to 3 weeks. I would unwrap it and the wing seemed good for a day then the next day it would be twisted out from his body. Now though, as soon as I unwrap the wingtip, it immediately flops outward. I am very afraid that it might be too late as well.

I am sure this is probably the wrong place to ask, but, I am looking for eggies. Trumpeter geese and production toulouse.

Does anyone know where I might find someone willing to sell fertilized eggs?

Yay! Weekend off! Quality goose/chicken time coming right up!

I tossed an egg this evening. It started weeping!
2 have definite growth and the 4th, hmm I dunno yet! I'm gonna end up with 2 again aren't I?

Wasn't she a nice witch though?

I think I'll call her (moaning) Myrtle!

You could call her Banshee. We named our loudest turkey that.
