Lame Gosling

[Bobafett]

So I have a couple set of goslings that just hatched and one appears lame. Sagging eyes, floppy wings, and it has a difficult time walking (however it keeps up with its sibling and mother with difficulty).

Was it perhaps hatched a bit to early and just needs a bit more time? Any advice?

I will put some pics up once I figure out this new tablet a little better.

I'd keep mom and babies in a confined area until this gosling gains some strength because if it is forced to keep up it may not make it. It may have hatched too early it may also need some extra TLC by you which means you may have to bring it inside and brood it to help it along food/water and poultry vitamins added

Thank you Miss Lydia. They do have their own space and mom has been sticking very close to her nest, almost like she knows. The gosling looks a lot more solid today as well. Nature is a pretty incredible thing.
