Gosling feed

[Aimeeg1986]

I’ve got duckling starter crumb and brewers yeast ready for when my gosling hatches but I have a few questions, do I have to provide grit with the crumb or just when it has fresh greens? And when do I start feeding it as I’ve read they live off of the yolk for a bit, thank you

Have food and water available 24/7, chick grit on the side in a little bowl once you start rotating in greens. I found my goslings did not like dry crumble, so I mixed water in to make it more of a soupy mush. If you'd like to add another supplement, kelp is a good one!

That’s great so they only need grit with greens? I’m just panicking now as I ordered the grit but is not coming until next week and the gosling has just started to internal pip

Yep, only with anything that's actually solid and needs breaking down. The duckling starter crumb is already broken down fine enough. You'll be good until it arrives <3
