Incubating Geese Eggs

[Justagoose_18]

She is able to pick up her head but can’t walk. Shuffles around to move.

Is she fluffed and dry she needs to be in a warm brooder with a stuffed animal to cuddle with. Can yo post a pic of her legs please? @casportpony how soon after hatching if splayed do you hobble?or @Pyxis

I changed the incubator temp to 97 so he’s not so hot.

Have you ever looked up how to hobble if they have splay legs? You can look it up on you tube or poultry pedia. But give her a few days to get over hatching. Unless you know for sure she is splayed also make sure not to put her on slick surfaces.

Yes she was never put on a slick surface so I don’t think it’s splayed leg but it was there in my mind.

Should I move her immediately to a brooder? I have some three day old chicks in a brooder. So she won’t be lonely I can put her in there.

They may peck on her can you place her inside of something so if you can’t watch her they can’t be climbing on her or pecking her?

A container? Like a tall and wide one. Or a small one? The feed in theirs is medicated though so probably not free.

In the incubator, when she tried to move forward she goes back? And I feel like it might be splayed leg but her spine is still not straight.
Should I wait till tomorrow?

I'd get her on a really grippy surface like shelf liner so that she can get a good grip when she tries to walk. You should pick up the Nutri Drench like Miss Lydia recommended and try to get some of that into her.

Other than that, there's not much to do except to wait and see if she gets her feet under her.

Ok thank you. I’ll try to get some tomorrow. Shes on paper towels right now but she was supposed to hatch today so I’m going to see if she’s ok tomorrow.
