gander squeaks, shakes head, sneezing
This is wonderful news! If you can add some probiotics and nutritional yeast to his diet, once bad bacteria has been cleared out it’s best to occupy all that free real estate with good bacteria so something nasty doesn’t take up residency. -
Slobber/drool
Is a vet an option? Two things jump to mind with what you described, the first being a serious respiratory illness, the second a serious gastrointestinal issue, an obstruction, parasite, or infection causing malnutrition and a swollen lower intestine. -
Cracked beak - lower jaw
It does look like the lower jaw is broken. If it was just a crack in the keratin it wouldn’t be much to worry about but the crack that travels down the jawbone you’re right to worry about. I wish I could give advice but I haven’t seen something this severe, I think it’s best to have a vet clean... -

Gosling with leg issue how to help
That looks like it may be a tendon issue. You can try to splint it, the sooner you do the better the prognosis but sometimes in many cases it doesn’t work out so it’s best to prepare yourself for that possibility. This has better information... -

Geese refuse to go in at night
In general geese don’t like to be in confined places, they instinctually prefer wide open spaces where they can see predators coming from a distance, that’s probably their main gripe. unfortunately for them they are better off in a secure place after dark. It’ll be a chore but you’ll just have... -
Geese refuse to go in at night
Can any critters get in the barn? If they saw something spooky in there they’ll definitely be afraid. Another possibility is rain, has it rained recently? The sound of anything pinging off the roof can be terrifying to geese. Whatever the issue is consistency is your friend with geese, doing... -

Nutrena layer feed okay in winter?
I have the same issue with my ducks, them not liking oyster shell. I started mixing some oyster shell in with their feed everyday with water right next to their bowl, they’re usually in such a rush to gobble it down that they swallow most of it before they notice I snuck in those nasty shells... -

Just how noisy are geese?
A lot of it depends on personality but breed can also affect their noisiness. I’ve heard Chinese type geese are more vocal than western breeds but again that can depend on individual personality. For the most part from what I’ve observed geese only make loud honks when they’re excited and... -

That people weren’t blatant hypocrites, the whole “rules for thee but not rules for these other people” situations.
