I’m not familiar with geese, but chickens. But I would give it some human B complex vitamins 1/4 tablet daily crushed and added to a spoonful of water given with a dropper. If you have Poultry Cell or another vitamin with riboflavin and niacin, that is also good. Offer mushy wet balanced gamebird or chick feed. That should be the main part of it’s diet. A little cooked or raw egg for a boost now to get it eating is good.

She didn't make it 😥 the other gosling has been doing amazing since arrival but the gosling that passed just struggled from the beginning but we thought we had it turned around. Thank you so much 🖤
