New goslings and a wash

[TeriSue]

Just picked up three Emden goslings. They are starting to feather, have some bald areas, and some yellow down. They have quite a bit of feces on them, too many in a small area. Wondering if there is anyway to clean them up a bit. I tried looking for and finding plain Casteel but it was a No go everything had essential oils in it. Any suggestions?

Nice warm water in a tub might take care of it. Pictures of the little ones please.

Give them a tub of fresh, clean water and let them bathe and preen themselves - they're really good at it, and they'll enjoy it.

Yes that is what i tried. The dirtiest one i rinsed in warm water. The other two i just left for comparison. Tthen they picked at two of them a little bloody so separated into three bins. Bu twenty four hours all three had themselves all tidied up!

They are adorable! They will outgrow that bin in a hurry like next week. Got a kiddy pool? Best brooder around.
