I'm sure they probably could get constipated but alot of time what they eat shows up in the color of their poop. Anything changed in what he has been eating? it the poop hard or soft. What do you feed him?

 

[brandiH]

No change in food they get water fowl pellet an fresh green grass from around the pond an then snacks cucumber romaine lettuse as of late that's been it

Has been acting off? straining to poop? have you ever wormed? This is a good time to worm with breeding season coming up.

 

[brandiH]

I use safe guard for goats. you can also use the safe guard paste for horses if you don't have many to worm I have 31 so I used the liquid. Safe Guard is very safe to use and kills gizzard worms which geese are prone to get.
