Ok now what do I feed this sebbie babby, I have water fowl starter and bboks on raising geese buT want to know what you guys do. Thanks for holding my hand thru this everyone

You can offer water right away in teeny dish like a ramekin, but wait 24 hours to offer food. I use mazuri waterfowl starter. It has to be special ordered, so if you do not have something like that, I like purina unmedicated start n grow.

Ask and ye shall receive. Here is a video clip of Spirit & co. Spirit still continues to improve every day. I'm starting to think she may have a pretty normal life after all. She is 2 weeks old today.

I have mazuri water fowl starter Ive been feeding it to duckies,
I just put goosie in brooder box after a quick cuddle and its lonely aww
I gave it a sock stuffed with rice warmed up in microwave, I wonder if I could put goosie with chicken babies that hatched wed,
they eat medicated feed though.
I have 3 two week old pekin ducks when goosie gets bigger it will have to live with them until I get a mate for it.
I will have to be careful not to spoil this goosie too much because I really want too lol

I'd put one baby in with goosey, instead of vice versa. I've tried both, and one on one is best, or else they all climb under or on top of gosling. In a few weeks, he'll be ready for duck buddy with no problem. In fact, I've got one lone goose egg (which is NOT IDEAL as you know) due next week. The closest buddies are only the day old turkeys I just hatched. In about two months, when its bigger, it'll go with the other goslings or Sebs I've got now, but in the meantime, its gonna be turkey buddy if the thing hatches at all.

Wow Spirit looks like she is getting around great
beautiful baby

Ok Marty sounds good chicks are waaayy smaller than goosie and there are only 3 of them left, one more question will the medicated feed hurt the goose and will waterfowl starter hurt chicks

Iain gGoosie listened!!!!

Goosie is out of shell as of about 830 this morning!

Oh yeah and by the way Iain and Celtic, I think the baby just got real hot yesterday, but after I held it is cool water for a while...it came out of it and is doing well.. Thanks!

glad it's ok
