    Older gosling suddenly lame and unbalanced

    Sorry for your loss. Sometimes no matter what you do they fail to thrive even with all the help. If you raise more goslings in the future don't hesitate to reach out we are here to help.

    Wondering if anyone else uses an automatic feeder? I'm having moldy feed at the cups, which I am wondering

    I have a 2 gallon that i feed them in once a day. How often are you having to fill up their feeder? During summer I'm changing the auto buckets out 1 time a week bare minimum.

    Soooo just an fyi my geese I have seen them run from the waterer 15 feet away to the food and hold food and run back and forth between the distance water in mouth etc. So it is a very high likelihood they are doing that lol. I have automatic feeders, but they don't like them nearly as much...

    BBS (Blue Black Splash) Marans - Pumperkinz

    I agree, I need to figure out what hens are laying egg colors, and seeing what comes from them with a certain roo to kinda nail things down. It's going to take at least 2 years to get things documented. Thanks again for all the help last year! And thanks to everyone else too with selecting this...

    Yeah this one was from cedar hills, and I think I selected right. Hoping they produce somewhat consistent off spring too. We shall see what 2026 holds :) lol

    BBS (Blue Black Splash) Marans - Pumperkinz

    Totally forgot to respond here. Going to have a local company help build it and clear some out. I have to design 10+ runs with it, so I want focus mostly on the marans. I let go of my last BCM boy as I had too many, and they just weren't up to my quality of what I want going into next year...

    I agree, when I had temp issues last time I hatched it took 2/3 days extra before stuff started popping out. Most of it just being consistent, and not messing with them too much at least in my opinion.

    Older gosling suddenly lame and unbalanced

    I understand. If you cannot get duck/goose pellets your next best option would be allflock (whole flock etc.) and the big component is niacin. If they do not have enough niacin in their diet they basically become unable to use their legs and act lame. The other option would be to supplement...

    Third eyelid wont retract

    Same coin of the different side of the US. I'm in the major flyway for east coast/mountains. We have a very heavy load of canadian geese, and have a state park behind us. NY state is thankfully very reactive, and we have had one culling for a farm last Q of the year, and it was the owner doing...

    What bread Of goose is the best to own?

    I am going to be biased, but I really enjoy my Sebastopols. They are pretty chill, a little flighty but very sweet outside of peak breeding season.

    Sorry also to note the brewers yeast is great, but depending on what normal food you are feeding them it could still have some vitamin B deficiency or food deficiency I worry. Whole corn for older geese is completely fine, the problem at this age they will choose their favorite food if you are...

    Older gosling suddenly lame and unbalanced

    Good morning! I noticed you are feeding them whole corn. A gosling needs vitamin B complex to help with walking and nutrition! What food do you have them on? I'd get them some b complex and drench some wter for them and it will take a week or two to get them back up right I hope. Please don't...
