Sounds good, clodhoppers. Really, don´t worry at all about getting her back in...it´s not as if it´s a gander that´s lost his perch! Did the vet say what he thinks is wrong with her bill? Does he think it´s related to the legs, ie niacin deficiency? Sounds like you may have to give her extra niacin regularly through her life, if she has a tendency for a problem like this...what did the vet say?The goose bill is still a concern. I am sure it would heal faster, if it got a rest! Late afternoon I put her next to the fence with the others. They all checked her out for a while. Absolutely no threatening gestures. Looked promising.
Goose did not care for the apple cider vinegar in her water. Did one dip and shook her head a lot. So back to plain water with some lettuce floating.
Yeah, vet had a large bottle of antiseptic handy for the scratches. I definitely prefer the mats over towels.
The goose nest got even bigger. Ganders do not like for me to go in and check out the nest. No hen sitting yet...
