    gosling hatched later than siblings & can't walk

    We had noticed this 2nd gosling was always about 2 foot behind. Perhaps this one was the second last to hatch. It is half the size of lucky. Mum lost a lot of weight on the nest but has 24/7 access to mixed grain and 30 acres to graze on. She & her hubby are very active with the other 6 goslings

    thanks Alaskan, I don't think I have a chance of penning the goose & goslings and they have food & water at the house. The trouble is they move every 30 mins or so to a different position around the house . I have checked him out and can't find anything wrong with his appearance. We will keep...
