Good morning,
My male goose is approximately 8 years old. For the last several years, he has had spine-y and splinter-y sticks where his feathers used to be. I am attaching a pic to show it best. What can I do for this?
I thought it was just because he was a male and more "rough and tumble"... but I recently saw other male geese in the areas who didn't have this. My female goose has beautiful feathers ... so I don't know if it their diet (which is mainly corn and ground plants... less grass and bamboo as before due to the new location.)
I thought it was stress (because I moved and was in a toxic relationship for several years)... and I thought his feathers would grow back. But nothing seems to be resolving.
Thoughts??? Other than this, he seems to be fine -- he is not acting any different.
Thank you in advance for advice. I want Luz Goose to be as healthy as he can, because I love him (of course!)
