Hey guys - it's been a CRAZY month! First it froze while I had eggs in a nest no one was setting on yet so I panicked and pulled them before it got too cold that day (dropped to 27* that night actually) THEN...I decided to incubate them and all was going well until this last Friday when the power went out for 26 hours and I couldn't get the generator up!!! But guess what??? I kept them warm in my truck with the heater on ALL NIGHT and just the warmth of the day with the windows up all day till the power came back on!!! Oh yeah baby!! Like a mama goose...98.5 - 99.5 pretty steady for 26 hours! AND FOUR HAVE HATCHED!!! Four beautiful perfect cotton patch goslings 
SUPER SUPER JAZZED!!!
Anyways...would it be okay to mix a 20% chick starter with a 12% all stock (not sweet - a dry type feed) to bring the protein down for them? I plan to provide fresh green stuffs (grass clippings) but want them to have something else as well for a few weeks????
Best I can figure is if I mix the 2 things half and half I'll get about a 16% feed - does this sound right?
I'll admit - I had baby goats born mid March, more due 4/21 and geese in the middle here...I'm whooped and can't think too straight! Plus I'm counting down days on a mama goose on a clutch of I THINK 11 eggs out there...not too sure what she has under her really. But it looked like I was counting 11.
I need suggestions for a nutritious meal - I'm outta bright ideas and they wont take a bottle like a goat lol!

Probably go out and clip some grass then - just REALLY not looking forward to "harvesting goose food" in the rain :/
