Hi Tsumo. I´m just nosing on this thread, I don´t have toulouse, and by the sounds of it, nor do you...you have a tufted something, maybe a roman? But I found what you said about your gosling not walking yet a little worrying. They do take a good day to get on their feet, so that´s normal. But, they can also get what´s called splayed legs, so it´d be good for you to do some research on this just so you can rule it out. Get onto the 2014 gosling hatch thread to post a pic and see what folks think on there. And yes, Miss Lydia has a good point about a towel, it gives very good grip and you can wash it out easily. As regards it eating and drinking, as Miss Lydia says, it doesn´t need anything usually for the first 24 hours. However, yours took longer to hatch, and some goslings are ready to eat and drink very soon after hatching. What are you giving it? Try putting a little tiny bowl of water in, and float some short pieces of grass or lettuce in it. The baby will most likely start picking at it. Also, because goslings are so inquisitive, Personally, I don´t have them on shavings ever, because I worry they´ll try to eat them.
When´s the next one due to hatch?
