Giving enrofloxacin (Baytril) a second time?
I treated my geese a while ago for a respiratory infection with enrofloxacin, symptoms got a lot better but never fully cleared after the 5 days. They are still having mild symptoms and I’m unsure if I should give them the same antibiotic again now that some time has passed and it hasn’t cleared...- Goose in the snake room

Are geese right for me?
I want to start by saying this idea is in its very early stages. I am not married to the idea of getting geese, but I am interested. I have chickens currently, and have raised ducks in the past.

Drakes bullying my goose
I have two drakes that are gentle & friendly to my ducks, but have decided to pick on one of my geese. The goose (Chinese/Greylag mix) is kinda timid and doesn’t realize she can fight back.
