Premature gosling?

[cheyfrie26]

Ok so my gosling can't raise its head and its feet and held tightly shut. Could it be premature? The others are fine. But I feel bad for it. Will he come out of it?

I'm no expert but both the goslings I've successfully hatched out have been that way, especially the second who was definitely premature. With a good warm lamp, a soft and non slippery surface, he was content to just lay there and snooze for the first twenty four hours. Yesterday he started to spring to life and stand. Today he walks around and yells all the time. He even had his first dip in warm water.

The first day I held it over the water and let its head dip down into it. It would take a couple drinks and then I'd put it down. I did that every few hours just to make sure it didn't have any issues with dehydration. Hope I helped at least a little.
