I have a three month old seb that vomited the other day and unlike her sibling, whose beak, legs and feet are bright orange, she in those areas are pale. They are locked up at night and free range during the day. I have never seen my chickens, ducks or other geese throw-up. Her diet has not changed so I have no idea what is up with her. I have given her electrolites and vitamins. Can anyone offer me any other kind of help as to what could possibly do this and what if anything else I should be doing for her? I didn't even know that they could vomit. Thanks in advance for your help.

It could be so many things. How about gapeworms? Did it maybe eat something poisonous or a foreign object? I had a drake that would vomit and act awfully sick during the summer two years in a row. During the fall and winter in between, he seemed fine. Under the vets advice, I wormed him, I tried giving CMB, you name it. He died in my arms the second summer and I just had to know why. He was a hermaphrodite and even though he had looked and functioned as a drake for 4 years, he had ovaries with no where to go with the eggs which were pushing on his diaphram causing him to vomit. Your goose is too young for this yet though. I'd get your gosling to the vet.
