Can my goose eat chicken feed?

[obieandhisgirls]

I have a 3-4 week old Toulouse goose and I was wondering if I could feed him chicken feed? I will insert a pic of what I would feed. It’s non medicated but I don’t want to feed him something bad for him. He is part grass and non medicated chick starter right now.

Waterfowl have different protein and vitamin needs than chickens

My flock is fed a feed with protein of 22%.

Lemme tag some people who might have better solutions but I would suggest vitamin supplements then

Many of us can’t find feed specifically for water fowl. So we use chicken feed and supplement that feed with a niacin supplement it’s very important our water fowl have the extra niacin since they need much more than what’s in the chicken feed. Here is info on niacin def An why it’s important we supplement. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/niacin-deficiency-in-waterfowl.1367557/

Game bird feed has higher niacin.
