    Gosling advice

    Im sorry Im late in answering on my side. Assisted hatches are always a issue. Silly question do you think some of the shrink wrapped men brain ended up on the eye? Saline sounds good to me. So every hatch of 20 plus goslings someone gets shrink wrapped. Most of the time its where the inner...

    Goose hatching help

    There is no real answer in how or when to assist. But Iv learned if there not going to finish the hatch sometimes there just not. Goslings can internally pip and not do a exterior pip for 48 hours. I usually panic at 48 and create a tiny breathing hole. then sit on it for another 24 hours. The...

    Gosling with a Hernia or Prolapse???

    It will eventually fall off I wouldn't go with antibiotics. When they hatch to quickly or from a small egg some have a yolk belly. Given time and humidity they usually pull it in. when shipped they dont get that special time. will probably fall off.

    Probiotics being used as a egg spray for hatching

    What kind of gosling?!

    I can only give you a hint on color. well you have a pink bill and dark patches. but breaks in the color pattern so will be pied. African and Chinese don't usually pie like that in color. Pied means patches of color. So it is probably leaning at the euro breeds. Bill is flat and long not...

    Gosling plucking feathers from siblings

    Toy's tots of toys. Something to do all the time. Think of geese like that new puppy you just got that just chewed up your favorite whatever. So the only toy is a new gosling. Geese just need to be active all the time. If there only toy is a younger smaller sibling...well There just like a...

    Roman Tufted Gosling

    Im not much of a believer in splints. more Niacin and B's a little warm water to float in a few times a day. Takes the pressure off. They grow fast a few weeks of your time may grow right past it April my favorite girl came with a broken leg in shipping she is 4 now thats what I did.
