gosling

I decided that I needed a goose or 5 to help alert me to issues with my Chickie-doos. My pyrs bark so much, and it’s never anything important, so I quit running to the window 8,000 times a day and night about 2 years ago. Geese should, from what I’ve read, be a more dependable alarm for...

My goslings, one 3 week and two just a day old started having clear watery poop today. They all were fine yesterday but now I'm a little worried. My 3 week old had some of the grain in it but the surrounding liquid looked like hand sanitizer consistency. She was with another gosling (a friend's...

I’m trying to introduce new food to my goslings. So far I’ve given them chopped apples, strawberries, green peas, lettuce, various grasses, watermelon, blackberries, blueberries and mulberries. They only ate the watermelon, peas, lettuce and grass. Any suggestions to get them to try new foods? I...

This is one of the new goslings, they’ve had a few issues ever since they came such as being quite tired and sitting down a lot, but getting more active as now they’re eating a lot of grass and peas and lettuce alongside waterfowl feed… though when I look closer it looks like Walter has a sore...

Hi! New and need help! My name is Gemma and I have a very small flock of sweet chickens. We are currently in the process of hatching a gosling egg too but are having some difficulties. We can not see through the shell. No matter what light used. is the shell too thick? The egg smells fresh and...

I have 2 embden goslings just about 5 weeks old. One is smaller and walks very gracefully and beautifully. It loves walking and even challenging me to power walk(race). The bigger and chubbier one loves eating and sitting a lot.. it walks normally but when it runs, it turns into a mini truck...

My gosling pooped this and it was hard and rubbery and weird she’s completely normal is this some kind of compact food? It was like layered and look like food inside never seen this before and I’m just curious. No blood just this and watery poop

I have 2 7 week old Chinese goslings showing signs of early respiratory infections. One gosling started showing signs almost 2 weeks ago with one eye tearing up and I treated with terramycin thinking it was only an eye issue. He now has a runny nose occasionally, excessive saliva, and some...

Is this normal wing feather growth for a 2.5 week old? I don’t think it’s Angel wing as her are perfectly tucked and she has been on the correct food. I know the sheaths grow out first before the feathers just want to make sure this is looking good?

Hi, I have this gosling hatched yesterday. It hatched the fourth day since the first internal pip. I actually had to help it hatch. The baby has been sleeping and rolling around the brooder ever since it hatched. It is not able to walk or even drag itself by feet like my newborn chicks did...

Hello all, This is my first time posting, though I've read these forums for many years. I'm a kindergarten teacher. I've been hatching in my classroom every spring for the last 14 years. I started with chicks and then moved onto ducklings, which I fell in love with. So much so that I kept some...

Help!! Went to put the birds away and found this gosling laying in the yard not doing too well. He/she has perked up a tiny bit after putting her under the heat lamp for a little while....but still can't lift its head and has a messy rear end. Is this wry neck?? I tried holding her head to...

These are my 1 1/2 week old Sebastopol goslings. I want help sexing!

Hello all, I recently got a female goose for my male not that long ago, unfortunately something made him die unexpectedly, none of our other birds have had this, but now out female is alone!☹ I don’t know if she could stay alone or not, but I’m thinking of getting one gosling to raise with our...

Was looking through my gallery and came across baby pictures of 2 of my geese 🥹 I thought a thread where people posted pics of their birds as babies vs now would be so cute!! (Doesn’t just have to be geese! Can be any bird!!) I’ll start: here’s Polly and Sebastian a couple days after they were...

Hey all, Ended up with three of these guys in last couple of days. Were either abandoned or parents were killed have come from farming property. Unsure of breed but looks like photos of Egyptian Gosling however they are definitely not local to our area. (Sa, Aus) Would anyone be able to...

Hi guys! I was wondering what people do about geese in winter? Do you still let them access their ponds? Mine sleep in their kiddie pool (in an enclosed run) and I'm not sure if I'll have to introduce them to a building to sleep for winter. I'm in NC usa so we don't get super harsh winters by...

So our Sebastopol who’s 3 months old hurt her wing on Tuesday getting out of the little pool since she fell in without meaning to. There was one feather down which was causing her some pain when I moved it up but when I got back home on Friday it had disappeared and my mum said that since it...

Hi guys! One of our goslings took a tumble into the little paddling pool as she’s quite clumsy and really hurt her wing getting out 😢 she can move it but there’s an awkwardly placed feather that seems to be very painful for her when I touch it and her squeals sound quite hoarse so I’m very...
