I have successfully gotten the ducks and geese to eat in the open barn area in the evenings.
Feeding them a mix of layer pellets and a little cracked corn. Set up a stall with straw bedding
roosting area and water to eventually lure them into. I think we're on our way!
When the pasture is all...
Lydia,
Thank you again for your suggestions. The flock have been foraging in the pasture at feeding times and living by the
shore of the pond in the evening prior to my arrival. I've scattered some corn for them several times.....the ducks
take to it right away, but the geese are suspicious...
Miss Lydia ~ thank you for the wealth of information and the kind words. I fear they have been without a caretaker for so
long I may not be able to entice them into the barn at night. Any ideas? Either way thank you!
I recently purchased a homestead in North Georgia which came
with barn, pond, and unexpectedly with three geese and three Muscovy ducks.
I have no information about how they were cared for or even what
breed the geese are.
1st - does anyone recognize the breed?
2nd - how should I should I...
