Was the gosling injured or attacked? I hope someone will be able to give you treatment options.

Welcome to the flock

Drumstic diva! Thank you! From what I have read it could be genetic or from the feed they were on when I first purchased.

i know this is a chicken forum but i purchased 2 goslings this year to keep raccoons out of my chicken coop, they are now about 4 months old and one of them has crooked wing does anyone know how to remedy it?

How do geese keep raccoons away? I might have to get some.

Hi, are you implying that your gosling has angel wing?
If so you tuck the wing in as it would normally be, get some of the paper tape (the wider one) used for dressings and wrap the wing firmly but not too tight.
Leave it for about a week and gently take the tape off. It should be back to normal.
You will lose a little bit of feathering when you remove the tape but they will grow back.
Good luck with the babies.

I think I know what's wrong with your geese! Look up angel wing in geese! Angel wing is where the wings of birds start growing or curving out words! It has some thing to do with protein?!?! Please update this thread!
