Unfortunate coincidence or worrisome problem spreading? We found one of the Muscovy ducklings on its back this morning, unable to turn over without help. It looked a lot like what's been plaguing the goslings and, for an afternoon, one of the Khaki Campbell ducklings. We don't

We had to put down one of the goslings. They've all been quite clumsy and falling over sometimes, but this one was much worse and getting worse every day. Once on its back, it wouldn't be able to stand up without help. This morning it couldn&

Poultry team growing: 6 Khaki Campbell ducklings joined yesterday. They spent the night indoors under a heat lamp, with the goslings in a separate box nearby. This morning they got to hang out together for a couple minutes. The goslings seemed friendly and wanted to join the cozy pile, but

Turkeys above, geese below. Looks like tonight they'll spend the night together in the same coop. We tried yesterday, but the geese were terrorizing the poor turkeys. Today's attempt also started with bullying, but then the turkeys realized they can roost. Everyone seems content so far.

Goslings free in their own grazing strip for the first time. After a timid first moment, they got right to business eating. They seem happy as long as they have each other and some grass. #goslings #geese #freerange Your browser does not support the video tag.

That's okay

That's okay. We all have hair days like this. Every day, they grow their feathers a little more and look different from the day before. #goslings #gansos #vidanacampo #growinggeese

First close contact between the goslings and the Muscovies

First close contact between the goslings and the Muscovies. The goslings seem to think that the drake is their mommy. The ducks look puzzled and mildly hostile. Hopefully they'll get used to each other so that they can be together without the need for a fence. #goslings #muscovy

The goslings are spending the night inside for now, because they don't have feathers and it might get too cold for them without mama goose

The goslings are spending the night inside for now, because they don't have feathers and it might get too cold for them without mama goose. It's the largest box we have and it seemed enough the first night, but tonight it feels like they could just

The latest additions to the team: two goslings of unclear breed, about one month old. They seem quite scared, understandably so: first time away from their mama goose and siblings, and in a new unfamiliar place. #geese #goslings
