Obviously not ideal but something came up can I keep 2 geese in a 16 by 4 foot chicken coop with high quality Chicken food pellets and fresh water for 5-6 days or will I need to let them out so they can eat greens

The coop isn’t ideal but it will do if you must but I would get them nutrena all flock, Purina flock raiser, or a multi flock feed though.

Even as adults geese often need more protein and b vitamins than chickens, something with 17% to 20% protein, 20% is preferred.

Like you said, not ideal, but it's only for 5 to 6 days. Not a big deal, in my book.

the Problem is that they aren’t supposed to be with chickens for that long because the geese won’t let the chickens eat and bully them is it okay if I put a board in the middle of the coop so it will only be like 8 by 4 feet for the geese is that too small for them? I can try to ask someone to let them out but That can be risky because I’m not there to look after them

Oh! You did say chicken coop in your original post but I didn't realize you actually have chickens in it.
That is an awful small space for two geese
I mean, it will work, but it's very cramped for that amount of time. Is there nowhere else you could house them?

 

[GMoose]

Not really no. I feel like it’s better than having them out all day without supervision though. They will be okay physically right?

There is nowhere else I feel like it’s better than having them out all day unsupervised. They’ll be okay physically with the new pellets though right?

Oops thought that didn’t send the first time

I just measured the coop and once I split it in half I think the geese have 15 by 5 feet

Are you building the geese their own space is that why they will be in the chicken coop? how old are the geese?
