RE: Another day on the homestead in Alaska: 26 April 2018
Your goose is growing up! How cute are the little ducks sleeping! Hope you are ok after the storm. The weather must be getting warmer for you soon. warm regards,
Margot
Yes they are! They are a chunk! It’s like they are growing massively over night! I was looking at photos and it’s true! They hit a growth spurt! I may have to cut them back a bit so they don’t grow to quickly. If they do that they can have major problems.
I lost a duck last year to growing to fast, his name was uncle scrooge( duck tales cartoon ). He started to develop a neurological disorder, so I read up on what to do, I even gave him hydro therapy in the bath tub and in a kiddy pool. He just became so bad that he was depressed and physically giving up.
We eventually had to put him down because he just gave up and was slowly killing himself. So instead of a slow death we opted for a quicker one.
I don’t want that to happen to my goose 😔
There's so much to learn about how to look after animals! When you're looking at wild life you don't take time to think about what's gone on.
