Help! 3 day old gosling is weak!

yes it was shipped.. I've gotten them shipped before a few years ago and didn't have an issue but the last pair I ordered that arrived a week ago were dead when they arrived

She does not look very well. Since she was shipped there is a good chance this is just shipping stress which can be very hard on poultry, most you can do is keep her in a warm, quiet, stressful free area, I'd give her a few drops of the Nutri- dench every few hours, some people swear by mashed scrambled eggs too.

Thank you so much!

Patsy is doing much better today! Eating & drinking on her own And Loretta is doing well also Not sure if it was the drops of nutri drench or the egg yolk mash or combo of both but it did the trick thanks everyone!

That's great, goslings are amazingly resilient! Enjoy them while they're small they grow like weeds.

I got my 1st set a few years ago, sadly a neighborhood dog ripped the side of their enclosure off and killed them all then tore the door off my neighbor's chicken coop and killed his 8 chickens. I had 3 ducks 2 geese. I was devastated! I have all 5 with the same kind I had before. 2 golden hybrid layers & 1 Pekin (got ducklings a few weeks ago) and then got 1 pilgrim goose, and 1 toulouse. The 1st set of new goslings I received a week ago were already dead when I opened the box so I was panicking when the toulouse was not doing well on this shipment! All are doing well now though! Thanks for the help!
