Hi all!

I spent the last year doing some research and landed on some sebbies.

I ended up getting them from Happy Daze Ranch out of OH. Just wanted to say how great the interaction was with the owner. He was a wealth of knowledge and just pleasant to work with etc. I go 1 Gray/Blue Saddleback (Parents are both Dilute Blue so will have to see how he feathers out :) ), 1 Buff, 2 Lavenders.Buff is the front left one. Just wanted to share and just state how happy I am with these little babies. They bring me so much joy lol. Once they get a little older I might do a long term follow along thing for them if they end up being a pair or trio to see their goslings etc. Just wanted to share some joy today :ya

Silly question as I know you are a wealth of knowledge. If I'm feeding the baby geese anything other then crumble should I be giving them grit?

I haven't been but im reading mixed stuff, and not sure what size a 3 week old goose can use. Thanks again.

You can try chick grit or sand. If you have any gravel or if there’s plenty of pebbles in your soil they’re experts at getting just the right size they need also.

ty I haven't been able to bring them out was planning to this weekend but it's been downpouring and a little cool. Will probably pull out the tub and let them free range a bit this week though as it's getting warmer. I think I have some chick grit somewhere in the shed so will go digging for the time being.
 
Another silly question @Goosebaby with angel wing if their extended wing is just falling down (not twisted outward) a concern at all? I figured with 4 week olds they are just growing and are going to get used to pulling up their wings. There is no twists that I'm seeing and I have them on 20% flock raiser. But i'm paranoid :) lol
