HELP!!!!

[akhomegrown86]

Whats wrong with my gosling? It doesn't walk and its been a lite over 48hours since it hatched. It's also not eating however it does drink water. I hatched 2 geese 2 summers ago and both walked with in 24hours and had no issues eating or drinking. I can tell its weak and it when it does move it scoots on its chest across the ground. I need some thoughts and or ideas on what I should do. What should I feed it. What shouldn't I feed it. Help me. I don't wanna lose a gosling. It just seems to wanna sleep all the time. In the pic its in a basket separated from my baby chics that hatched at the same time cause they just wanna stand on my gosling.

I don’t know if all of these members know much about geese but I know they are often very helpful. I have 2 goslings but I’m very inexperienced with them as I’ve only had them for a week tomorrow. Good luck with your gosling.

Thanks for calling me helpful but I don't know much about geese.
Most Baby poultry don't need to eat for a few days since they have the yolk absorbed and they live on that. It could be cold separated away from the others which could make it sleepy. I think it should be able to eat the chick feed BUT I am not a goose keeper. Also, I see you have wood shavings as bedding, make sure they aren't cedar shavings because cedar can be toxic to poultry.

I amm sorry that I don’t know anything about geese. But, I have hatched a couple of chicks who could not stand and would not eat. That was probably brain damage, and they were euthanized after 2 days of trying to help them, and giving Poultry NutriDrench.

I haven't read the thread, but I believe @Pyxis has geese. Not sure if she will be able to help, but thought I'd tag her just in case.

Looks like the OP has received some help on their other thread for this topic

I agree with the advice given there, try vitamins to see if it's a correctable vitamin deficiency.
