I am posting this picture in memory of my awesome, great, beautiful, wonderful Grey dewlap toulouse gander. He recently passed away on september 27, some time while I was at school. He had the best personality I have every seen in a gander and was very calm and mellow. He will be greatly missed by me and his gaggle. I will be having my friend do an autopsy on him. I woul like to thank everyone who helped me and gave me the bests advice possible, thanks everyone! Espically Celtic Oaks and Miss Lydia!

Poultry09, sorry to hear of your lost, he was a handsome guy. I can feel your pain, I lost my big Buff this week also. It sounds like he may have had the same problem yours had.....he just kept getting weaker and weaker. It's really hard to lose them........

I am new at posting on byc but have been a member since last year. I have just read your threads and am so sorry to hear you lost your lovely dewlap gander.

This was interesting reading for me. I had purchased 4 sebastopols from the Holderreads when they sold out of Sebastopols. I bought 4, 3 females a lavender beautiful girl, a buff saddleback also a very nice girl, a grey saddleback girl and a lavender gander. On the 4 thye were in pretty rough shape when they came here. Plus under weight. So I always do my normal worming in the fall and in the Spring. We had the sebbies about two months and the buff saddleback just died in her sleep. I wrote and ask about her and was told she probley ate poisionious weeds??? Then this Spring my beautiful lavender female died the day after I got home from the hospital??? I have been hearing a lot of different people having their geese dropping dead. This baffles me except the only thing I can think of is the stress factor with the geese.

I could be totally wrong but our geese have feelings like we do and if enough stress some how is on them this could be a reason that takes them down and causes death? I am no expert but just a thought. I know it is certainly harder on some geese than others to go from one home to another. The one thing I noticed the most are geese that are not socialized with humans stress out the most.
My buff saddleback hated people and stressed terrible from us handling her. So did the lavender female and these are the two we lost. We tried not to handle them very much so the stress would leave them. The two I have left the lavender and the grey saddleback were the two youngest sent to us and they lived so far.

I will be very interested in the report from your friend........
