    Splitting up males/females -- Goslings arriving soon!

    Females are Toulouse, males are African, unsexed are white Chinese. The chicken yard is about 0.4 acres and the goose pasture is about 0.8 acres. So we could wind up with 2-5 males and 5-8 females. If we wind up with more than 3 males, we’ll remove the extras.

    Deep litter method

    You would need 24 cubic feet. 6ft x 8 ft = 48 square feet x 1/2 (because 6 inches is half a foot) = 24 cubic feet. So five bags of 5 cubic feet should cover you.
