I'm happy to say she decided to give me the 2nd goose after all ! She dropped it off last night before dark! They are back together in their new home! Thank you!
I bought some all flock pellets for 2 goslings this lady was giving me but she only dropped one. I'm hoping she'll will give me the other one so it doesn't have to sleep in a bathtub anymore.She didn't have a coop for them.
Genetics influences how long they live too. Bantam chickens generally live longer than standard breeds and heritage breeds live longer than most production hybrids(example Amberlinks )
I usually buy Kalmbach crumbles but switched to all flock pellets because I have roosters and a couple geese (males shouldn't eat layer feed) Most feed is cheaper in 100 lb bags. This ones $52.33 before taxes shipped free.
