Unfortunately I do not have of the old feed. The new ones are really bad, we are having a lot of rain at the moment and even though it is dry it is disintegrating from the moisture. My husband has to sift it to get rid of all the "dust" it makes. I think we are going to have to buy the correct feed and just throw these out. The wild birds seem to love it! They are eating more of it than the geese.
Picky Geese seem to be a normal thing around my place, been through allot of changes in the last 3 years and have found something they all agree on.
I was growing fodder (sprouting from grains) for a while they loved it at day 2 of sprouting would play with it at day 4 and turn there noise at it when it got older.
I now ferment there grain for 3 days and nothing goes to wast. They have free choice of Duck Pellets at all times and grass hay. (we have been in a drought so they are on 2 acres of no grass)
My Mix is still a work in the making but right now this is what there gobbling up.
Whole grains 90% (mostly wheat)
Split peas, Black oil sunflower seeds whole, Lentils, 10%
Soak and stir for 3 days in Non-chlorinated water. with a little apple cider vinegar or pickle juice.
Scoop out half in the morning sprinkle with flax seeds and feed
Scoop out the rest in afternoon add Fish oil and Niacin
Sprinkle Oyster Shell in there pasture.
Fermenting is easy takes me about 10 min a day. Im still doing fodder but for my ducks.
Still reading about things I can add to the fermentation so always a work in progress
