Gander refusing to eat

[MGG]

They’re only around the girls part of the day, the issue I’m having currently with
Eo and Parsnip is that Leo’s trying to mount Parsnip, Parsnip scolds him and then sometimes a fight starts. They’ll mellow back down eventually, I can’t wait for that to settle down. I’ll try what you suggested and thank you!

Oh, that sounds like a pain. Makes me glad I just have one goose, a gander. Sounds good. I hope it works for you. Good luck! I'll cross my fingers for you both!

Parsnip had a normal poo this morning, just found it in his nest when I went in to clean up.

Yay! That looks like a good one! Good job, Parsnip! Btw, what is the mill date on your feed bag? My goose won't eat anything older than 4 months.

I can’t find where it lists the mill date on the nutrena bag.

Can you post a pic of the bag? I think nutrena puts it on the white ingredient list thing on the bottom of the bag.

I couldn’t find the tag, it must have gotten torn off, I found one with December as it’s mill date, but I don’t know which bag that may have come from and when.

Are geese suppose to eat everyday? Does he like any greens?

Yes they should eat everyday, sometimes females go off their food while nesting though. I hand feed Parsnip greens everyday, romaine lettuce, often wrapped around sliced up broccoli sprouts and/or carrot bits. He also gets slices of tomato and strawberry. I’ve started hand feeding him grass because it goes down the easiest.
He used to eat his greens just fine before this. He loves romaine normally so I know something’s off.

How's Parsnip doing? I've been thinking about him.
