It’s amazing what they can adapt to. I have 2 ducks blind In one eye and I can watch them and how they have adapted to only being able to see out of one eye. It’s not causing problems walking but they have had to adapt.
They make neoprene shoes for geese too. I wonder if that would help to protect the skin and maybe help him walk better? It wouldn't be bulky. I have them for my chickens and my ducks I should buy a pair for Missy in case I ever needed them.
Your going to love them both but the Cayuga if like the one I adopted your going to love her personality, this one named Olive that came to live with us in Jan is so laid back. I love her quack too. It's so cute when everyone lines up to go to the upper part of their property Olive is always...
I love your avatar ❤️ Ever thought Trudy might accept Jellybean and Noodle too? Missy took over 2 Runner drakes after mama Muscovy set them free. She still knows the one Runner drake is hers and he still likes to hang with her.
If your worried about being squished you could always make 2 sides in your brooder for night time that way you can sleep without worry and they can still see each other?
