gosling care

Hi there! My Chinese gosling is currently 1 week old and SO much smaller than it's sibling, I mean WAY smaller. The larger goose is only one day older. I've attached a picture to show size comparison. She barely seems like she's growing at all. I see her eat and drink and she actually eats more...

My two week old gosling is starting to honk! Mostly when she's sleeping, like snoring but she also makes these squeaker toy sounds. Is that normal? I wouldn't expect her to honk until she was at least a month. I also need to replace her fluffy duck toy that she loves. Right now she has a...

So a friend gave me a Tollouse gosling about 2-3 weeks ago along with some eggs to hatch. I've raised her on her own (with a toy) since and just today one of the eggs hatched. She's deeply imprinted on me. We got a lamp and tried introducing them and it seemed to go well except the older...

I have a pair of goslings around a week and a half old. One is very large, constantly running around and eating. The other about half its size and seems sluggish and unsteady on its feet in comparison with what seems to me to be a visibly swollen stomach which is hard to the touch. Both are...

I feel like my goslings are falling apart with my frequent post. But today I noticed my 7 week old Chinese gosling’s wing was red and swollen. Last week I treated him for Angel wing and this was not present at the time, and I haven’t noticed it until now so I believe this is new. The feathers...

I hatched this baby last night at 3am (12 hours ago). I noticed as soon as he hatched there was an issue and after doing research I decided to place him in a cup to keep him from flopping around and injuring his naval any further. He’s been in moist paper towels in a cup in the incubator for 12...

Our gosling was found on its back soaking wet and struggling with its legs by the edge of the pond. We are based in the United Kingdom. We dried her off been force feeding her and making sure she gets lots of water. She must be around 4 weeks old maybe older. She can’t walk at all she...

We rescued a Canadian gosling from our pond in our back garden. The family migrate here every year. The gosling was found on its back soaking wet and struggling with its legs by the edge of the pond. We dried her off been force feeding her and making sure she gets lots of water. She must be...

So our 2 baby goslings at the moment aren’t at all interested in chick feed which was originally suggested to us, but after doing more research it looks like people are against using chick feed because it’s not enough for them (don’t worry it’s not medicated so nothing dangerous in it) I’m just...

We have 2 baby goslings right now (literally newly hatched about 1/2 days ago) which were the only ones to hatch out of 6 eggs that we got, they seem very happy and healthy but the only issue is.. they hate staying in the brooder! No matter what we do they cry to come out! Actually one of them...

Hello, all! I'm quite new to raising geese, but this year we have a pair of Embden goslings! Ruby and Jasper are feathering in nicely on their wings and bum, and soon they will be ready for life outdoors! They will co-habitate with my flock of chickens. This brings me to my question. What kind...

Hi everyone! I went to my feed store this morning and found these two little guys (gals?) Left in a box in the parking lot. I had been thinking about adding guard geese to my chicken flock anyway and couldn't leave them there in the cold so brought them home. Does anyone have any ideas on age or...

My week old Seb gosling let out this white runny poop yesterday. This morning I saw another small poop which still had a good amount of white substance and the Mazuri food she’s been eating. The only things she has had to eat are the Mazuri grower pellets, chick grit started a few days ago, and...

Greetings from Northwest Washington. My I have a Chinese water goose she's brown and she's my first goose! This is her first year laying eggs and she started in December. I was pretty concerned and I started taking her eggs away thinking it was too early for her to hatch goslings considering the...
