Food for nesting mothers

[themothergooz]

Can anyone suggest a good food (or commercial feed) for nesting Canada Goose mothers?

I have two moms who are starting to get weary, they can't take their breaks because their husbands are no where to be found and they are very hungry.

I've been leaving lettuce, grass, corn and wheat bread but I feel I can do more.

Is there something I can leave at their nest for them to snack on?

you could try oats some like it some don't or just some dry oatmeal cereal mine started on it when they were born they love it . All geese are different .

Sitting geese spend an amazing amount of time on their nests, and they do lose a lot of weight, but they´ll always come off when they have to. don´t worry, The lettuce, grass and corn is fine, together with a bowl of water, just a few yards away from the nest will do great. They´ll eat it when they need to. Enjoy watching them!
