She turned 6 weeks yesterday. Little Midge started showing signs of delay in development some days back, falling behind her fellow goslings. She soon became unstable on her feet. This led to full blown instability and near complete loss of balance. Sometimes even ending stuck on her back. We moved her to the adjacent coop of her flock with her own food and water. She is still within earshot of everyone and gets supervised time with them, as they will accidentally run her over. Her water includes a vitamin supplement and electrolytes. We are feeding them 30% protein unmedicated gamebird crumbles. I stuffed an old t-shirt full of shavings, so she could have something to lean on. When the others go out to graze, I grab her up and we all go together. She got to float around in a large rubbermaid tub, cleaning herself up, and having a gay time doing so. She doesn't seem to see that there's really anything wrong. She's just trying to be a good goose. We are going to keep offering her help until she gets better. I would appreciate the community's thoughts, ideas, solutions, and/or any information.
