Someone dropped these off

[Starfire669]

I'm putting the word out to the poultry people in our area (south of Houston) to see if anyone can come get them.

Thank you! As I stated on the Texas thread I am more than willing to provide them a home. What's 2 more when I already have 8 geese? Lol. Besides, I'm a sucker for rescues.

I posted this story on the Texas thread hopping some people closer might be able to help out.

I found a gal locally who is willing to come get them today. I will message you. She has some that are the same age as these!

Yay! Great Job LoneStarHen! I am so happy these beautiful babies will have a home. I can't thank you enough!

Any word on this situation? Are the babies going to be picked up? They won't survive out there much longer. They can't fly, so are very vulnerable to predator attacks. Please get them out before it is too late.

Thanks Serv. We are trying to get them picked up as they are living on a lake with no shelter or feed available other than what they can find.

I hate people who just drop animals. when we lived in TN it seemed like we would find new dogs or cats weekly. Luckily some of our neighbors had small farms and took them in.

The geese are following the local ducks everywhere they go. Maybe things will work out.  Still keeping an eye on them. Will keep everyone updated.

Domesticated goslings at that age and even domestic geese CAN NOT fend for themselves in the wild. Just because they are following the ducks around does Not mean those ducks are taking care of them. Ducks and geese, although waterfowl, are not any where near being the same. The ducks may not mind them following them and you can bet they still wont mind if something kills one. They do not have all their feathers yet and if it rains, even in the warmest climates, can get hypothermia and Die. They cannot fly either, unlike wild geese, so they can not get away from predators. Basically if you leave this as a "watch and see" type situation you are serving these babies on a silver plater to any predator or hungry dog. They need picked up. Please allow one of these kind members that offered to give them a home to come and get them. Leaving them there is no better than the person who dropped them.
