Next month I'm getting goslings. Embden geese, if breed matter for how they're raised. I'm getting two or four, because my mum doesn't want an odd number.
I've been doing some reading and I've got a pen for them once they're big enough to be outside without supplemental heat.
I read for the first three weeks to add Brewers yeast to their food or water. And pellets, not crumble. Non-medicated chick feed but waterfowl feed is better (and my supply store has some I believe. If not, they'd likely be able to get it in). Also rolled oats in the food. I can't remember what the ratios are. And they can have supervised play time in warm shallow water. But they also need water deep enough to use to clear their eyes.
They'll be three/four days old this time next month. I just really would appreciate any advice, tips, corrections on the above information I've heard if anything is wrong. Literally anything will be appreciated! I know nothing, these will be my first geese!
