We had a couple goslings hatch out Wednesday. I started him on poultry Nutridrench last night just to give him a boost as we have had terrible hatches this year and many weak at hatch babies. These two seemed to be doing fine until this morning. The one can barely move his legs or wings, he can get himself into a sitting position but that is all. He just wants to sit and be cuddled or sleep, nothing else. If he gets flipped over he can not right himself. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
He just sounds very weak. Sorry you didn't get replies earlier, did he survive?
If he's still alive, I would recommend giving scrambled eggs, or his regular food mixed with yogurt to tempt him to eat.
 
The little guy passed away. On a brighter note we have a total of 4 happy, healthy goslings, all different ages. Each hatch was set a week apart and we only had one hatch or survive with each setting. All colored sebbies, can't wait to see them feather out. Oldest one looks like he will be either a blue or lavender, next one is a saddleback and the 2 youngest I can't tell coloring yet.
