    I have a new pair of French Toulouse Goslings, about 1.5 weeks old. My male, Henry, has a large, hard lump on his right side close to his upper chest/lower neck.

    Food Schedule?

    I have two geese and two ducks. I read somewhat that people have them on a schedule for feeding. Is that necessary? If so what kind of schedule should they be on? The bigger ones are around 9 weeks, the younger are around 3 weeks. Should just the big ones be on a schedule right now? Suggestions...

    Wry neck gosling

    I have a 7 week old gosling with a wry neck. He is also smaller than my other goslings and has trouble with walking and balance. He's had the wry neck since he was 4 weeks ( which is when I started to treat him a mix of various vitamins like E, B1, and niacin) but it hasn't improved. I think it...

    Introducing gosling to gosling

    So we have a gosling about two weeks old and finally found another gosling companion. I'm finding a lot on how to introduce them to adults but not each other. Any ideas? Right now I'm straddling a baby gate so that they're separate but neither feels alone.
