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.

..And this was the result lol They liked my phone a little too much! Still one of my favorite 'baby' pics of them :rolleyes:

We've acquired a Canada Goose gosling who is about two weeks old and would really like to get him a companion, preferably female. I'm willing to do a little driving....

Hi Everyone, If anyone has seen this behavior before and/or has any suggestions, I'd be so appreciative! THE SITUATION: I have a pair of nearly-4-year old Sebastopol geese. This year, my goose finally hatched a few goslings. Long story short, there were only two healthy ones -- female I...

Hey all, I just noticed this on poor Kami's foot. He does like to jump out of people's hands and I'm worried he injured himself? It's puffy and feels like a blister. It is very hot. Could it be bumblefoot? I'll call the very tomorrow-should I do anything tonight?

Two and a half days ago, the incubator got dumped. Long story. I lost mandarin eggs, and several Sebastopol eggs. Two were to hatch, and one was definitely killed. The other's egg looked like a jigsaw puzzle, but it did not hemorrhage as the other one, so I wrapped it on a paper towel...

I would like to start a flock of geese.. If anyone in upstate NY was any extra geese/goslings I would really like to have a pair to start my flock..... Thanks!

Last year we got a breeding pair of French Toulouse goslings. I'm thinking about ordering some more (perhaps two more females and one more male). Will this work, or would our adult gander claim any new females and pick on a new male? Or should I get them in pairs?

What is the dosage of Tylan 50 for a one-month-old Gosling? She's sneezing and has puffy eyes.

In the spring I’m planning on hatching ducks and geese together but I know there’s a good chance that the geese could all be ganders. Should I be concerned that-if that is the case-the ganders might try to pair with the duck hens? If the problem arises can it be fixed by getting the ganders...

In the spring I would like to hatch my own ducks but I’m having trouble finding duck hatching eggs online for the breeds I want. I’m also potentially looking for fertile goose eggs. I’ll be looking to buy eggs around late February to early March 2018. Does anyone know of any good hatcheries that...

I had a tiny duck egg and a goose egg incubating together since 9/25/17. The duckling hatched on 10/23 but no progress with the goose egg. I thought maybe the incubator temp was too low and it just needed time. This morning it passed the float test but a while ago I started worrying about it...

I have a gosling here with a weird lump on its eyelid. It doesn't seem too bothered. It looks like either a scar/irritation or a minor deformity to me. Thoughts?

Hi I have 2, 3 weeks old Embden females. Both were status quo when I went to bed last night. Woke up to find that one (the one who usually the most vocal and energetic) to be quite listless. She is sitting a lot, and dozing in and out. She will get up and drink, take a walk from one end of the...

Hi again. As a new gosling owner, I have MANY questions. I was shocked about how little goose specific info there is online outside of these forums. I think I read everything there is- after weeding through all the articles about Ryan Gosling! :rolleyes: My latest inquiry which I can't find...

This is my 2 week old Emdben's wing. (Had a hard time getting a better picture) It is also "raw" and without feathers on the "elbow" area as well as underneath the wing. Is this something i should be concerned about, or could she possible be getting in her new feathers already? Seems a little...

My four-week old Pilgrim goose needs a buddy! Preferably another female, and young. In Mid-Michigan.

Ok so I'm new here and this is my first time raising birds, and there's a good chance I'm just worrying too much, but one of my goslings has lost all feathers on a patch on it's neck. Does this look normal to anyone with more experience than me? Any tips or general help is welcome. My gosling is...

I recently got a one-month-old gander. He's been living with my two-month-old pullets and one little roo. They get along fine but I think he is lonely and would really like another goose for a friend, but I really don't want to have a gander. I already have 3 roosters and a gander! lol Does...
