Do you give your goose any extra niacin besides the general vitamins? I know the legs/feet suffer first from a deficiency, and it could be what's wrong. You can buy nutritional or brewers yeast to mix in his feed. About a tablespoon per cup of feed. You can just sprinkle it on his feed or mix it in if it's an amount he'll eat in a day. Frozen/thawed peas are higher in niacin too and a good treat.

@Goosebaby
Can you get a picture of his poop?
He may have some kind of illness that will respond to an antibiotic.
Is it an option for you to take him to a vet?

Good morning!
I just started giving him the flakes mixed with the food! I am going to mix the niacin with food hopefully this helps
