I do have one odd question if you don't mind helping me out..?

I'll try.

I'll try.

I have one gosling who keeps taking mouthfuls of water over to the others (mostly to the males) and tries to "clean" them.. I don't really know if that's what shes doing, but that's what it looks like to me..

Never seen this before I had 2 goslings last year and didn't see this with them, so she's getting them wet? She is acting fine other than this quirky thing? As long as they have a nice warm brooder hopefully they won't chill if she is soaking them down. and she'll get over it.

Okay. I was just worried. They aren't fully soaked. They have a big brooder, and have a 250 watt bulb for now.

I'm so sorry, be sure and contact the hatchery, it's so hard to know what the poor little things have had to endure over their cross country shipping and the weather could have played a role.

If you have any Poultry Nutir Drench it can be given straight into the mouth and is really good for lil one that are having difficulty you can use a syringe with out the needle and gently release small amounts in the front of the mouth never down the throat. I'm so sorry.
