New Gooseling

[animalover14]

Hi I just got a Gooseling from my animal crazy great Aunt and she just kind of gave me the Gooseling without question. I don't like geese at all cause they mean however if I hadn't taken it it would have been badly mistreated. So in a way I saved its life. I've decided that I'll keep it but I no absolutely nothing about raising geese or ducks cause she gave me 2 Muscovy ducks from her 2weeks ago.
Anyway I need help with both types of animals. Any help is appreciated thank you!
O and I have no idea how old the goose is or what gender

Stay calm Backyard chickens is here. Go to the "Raising Other Backyard Poultry" forum and you will find threads for goose folks, duck people, quail, guineas etc. Also feast your eyes on the Learning Center the crown jewel in poultry education.

It would be really nice of your aunt to let you know old they are, what they are used to eating etc.

Thank you for the first post very helpful!

And secondly I guess she got it from a hatchery that also butchers some animals that no one wants.

so in a way she saved its life but she didn't want it and she has no idea how old it is. But it still has soft yellow fluff but is maybe from the top of its head standing straight maybe a foot off the ground or so. And maybe 6-8 inches from head to end.
