Week and a half ago I ordered 12 goslings from Ideal poultry hatchery.
They were :
Gray Saddleback Pomeranians 1male 2 females
Tufted Romans 1 male 2 females
Brown Chinese 1 male 2 females
White Chinese 1 male 2 females
They were so cute and lovely. My kids and I was so happy to see them! I putted them in a small brooder box under the heating lamp. For the first couple of days they were fine...........and then the trouble began. 3 gosling collapsed out of blue and couldn't walk and they were shivering. Died in a couple of hours. After one day the remaining started sneezing and grasping for the air. They started having profuse white diarrhea, ocular and nasal discharge, anorexia, prostration and paralysis.
I lost 5 in 2 days. Right now 3 are paralyzed and the other 4 are so so.
Occasionally, the disease accounts for mortality of 70 to 100 per cent in susceptible flocks when the infection occurs at early age of life. I don't know if there will be some survivors or not.
Loss of of money, emotions and joy.
Would like to know if anybody experienced the similar situation with their goslings?
