ave a friend who I gave my pekin away too and my friend managed to legally obtain two Canada geese. Right now the geese are about a month old and I am curious how they will interact with my pekin and the rest of his flock for that matter. Will they all get along.

I like the comfrey tea idea.. & Epsom salt compress..

If there is broken bones then she would be able to feel that, it could be a sprained leg? Then the sling tape would help..
If there is internal damage she will only last for 4-5 days if that.. Plus she said she was getting a little better.. But not eating is NOT a
good sign.. & nerve damage, well there is nothing she would be able to do about that but surgery..
Blood coming from her nose not good, or if her bill was injured that could be why she is not eating..
The human might need some relaxing tea after that ordeal..
Oh what it T-relief??

Sorry it took a while to respond - ever have one of those weeks? T-Relief is a gel used for sprains. I use it on myself and on my ducks. It has arnica and comfrey, if I recall correctly. Just a tiny dab, at night before bed so they don't wash it off quickly.

They should be fine, not too sure what will happen once they figure out how to fly. I live in Canada and there all always Canadian geese everywhere and interesting with the wood ducks and mallards on the lakes here. Even the wild ones here are docile and interact with us. Hope this helps a little

I agree these guys are great! About a week after the Cayuga babies had been released into the rest of the property, the geese decided that adoptive mom wasn't attentive enough and took over! And unless their parents teach them to fly and migrate the almost never do. One of the geese here is a baby the mom hatched here, mom and dad don't fly and their little has never even attempted it.
