Age-of-Goositude
Songster
I wanted to post to make people aware. A while back I rescued 4 ducklings and 5 goslings from a local hardware store here in Winlock WA. They were in a kiddie pool together, the ducklings double the size of the gosling's, in a layer of poop about two inches thick they had a water dish with brown water not deep enough to clean their face in and it was reported they were being something the size of layer pellets by a few other people and there was other accounts of the place the babies were kept in just how I described and the smell was so much many people left the store. There was obvious bullying and many babies had bald backs and heads. When I pulled them the babies had bumblefoot(staph infection) on their knees, ammonia burns on their feet, bald bellies, crusted noses, caked in poop, some had crusty eyes and redness around the nares, and we're open mouth breathing, here are photos of what was the healthiest gosling. The remaining duckling is almost fully feathered and not showing any respiratory distress' anymore and neither is the gosling who now has shoulder feathers coming in. I tried to tell the town and messaged the better business bureau and corperate and the humane society and animal control and nothing was done and they are still selling animals.
