Ok Sue,
I use 2.5 gal buckets to carry the feed in so I can mix multiple batches and load the yard cart taking all the feed at once. We have 2 lb size maxwell house coffee cans (plastic) as scoops in each feed barrel.
Geese get:
1.5 scoops of Mazuri
0.5 scoop of Purina Omega 3 layer
1.0 scoop of whole oats
1.0 scoop of BOSS
Hand mix to blend together. The geese are fed in smallest black rubber livestock pans. Each is filled most of the way full with this mixture. We do have one pair who won't eat BOSS, they get millet seed.
The above is the breeding season mixture, they all come running when they see us pulling the feed cart. Even with all of the grass they could want. Since we don't get severe cold temps here I don't feed corn, cracked or otherwise. They get red wheat in the fall and winter though. (October-January) its just mainly to prevent boredom as they have grass/pasture year round so we don't go through as much feed as others might when the grass goes dormant.
Our ducks don't like oats, so they get Mazuri, Layer, BOSS
The ornamental ducks get game bird, oats and scratch. They love the seeds in the scratch blend. We also lay rotting logs in their aviary and move them around once a week to expose bugs.
