x2 I keep my Seb pair in a portable 10' x 10' pen (chain link dog kennel) at night and I have to move it pretty much every day (at least in the winter, during the summer I can get away with every other day), otherwise it turns into a mud pit. Obviously, this isn't an option if you aren't strong enough to move a pen that big.In that case, make the pen as big as possible or portable, or you will have them in a mud pit pretty quickly.
I would not give them dog food. Geese do not need the animal by-products that dog food has, or all that corn either. I still don't understand why people think dogs should eat that much corn.
Most geese are not tropical, so they are built to make it through winter pretty easily with just additional grains, grassy hay and whatever vegetables you find they like. Mine are particularly fond of turnip greens and carrots, both of which I keep in the garden all year. Its amazing how the greens survive even under snow. If you can utilize some of that acreage to start them little food plots, you'll be in good shape.
I have our sebastopols in big dog kennels the larger the better. We have welded wire on the top and all around the bottome of the whole kennel so racoon fingers can not get in there to them.Tarps across the top, back and two sides. Use ties to keep the tarps in place. My husband made the tops like a roof with the tarps.
