Gosling feather development
I see what you mean. I will definitely keep an eye on the things you suggested. I do take it out of the birds free range yard and let it wander around with me while I do my garden stuff but I cannot say for certain what goes on when I'm at work. Thank you for all your insight- NikkiRenee

Gosling feather development
I originally had it on 22 protein but noticed a little bit of twisting in the wings so I corrected and lowered the protein to 20. I go through feed pretty quickly with the flock that I have and usually buy a new bag every couple of days. I also throw scratch and oyster shell out in the yard that...- NikkiRenee

Access to duck feed as well as grass and the occasional watermelon or other safe table scraps. I'm not sure if being moved from the brooder to outside with...- NikkiRenee

Color & pattern genetics
Thank you so much for your response. I feel like he's more of a light gray toned then brown but so lilac definitely makes more sense. I've had a lot of people say buff but I feel like he would have more of a brown tone if that was the case. Can you tell me if he is considered a splash, pied, or...- NikkiRenee

Color & pattern genetics
Can anyone help me understand the genetics of my gander? I'm trying to figure out what color and pattern he would be considered. Also what makes his bill and feet bright pink compared to other geese that are typically Orange.- NikkiRenee
