Geese should be on something more suited to waterfowl, like a flock raiser because they need more niacin and other B vitamins. Niacin isn’t the only B they need. Other vitamins like E are also critically important.
30% protein gamebird I’ve used for underweight adult birds, for goslings it could cause an issue like angel wing because it’s just too high in protein and carbs.
Brewers yeast is what a lot of people supplement with, I’ve alsways just given straight vitamins myself.
@Miss Lydia @oldhenlikesdogs do you have recommendations for what kind of yeast brand is best?
A baby pool is just fine for any kind of goose and it will make their lives much better by having one. I have no idea how that would effect your chickens,, I don’t have chickens myself.
Geese can be trained to some extent, they like routines, they’ll go into their bedtime shed at night without any fuss when guided in at night, though they won’t go in unless they’re guided in.
Geese don’t make good flock guardians. They will deter hawks but nothing else, they can’t protect themselves let alone anything else from larger/other predators.
Geese are also questionable flock companions, they generally don’t like other bids I’ve found, they can bond with an individual of another species but most of the time they just tolerate the presence of chickens and ducks as long as they give them personal space. If the chicken or duck doesn’t maintain boundaries it can end badly for them sometimes.
