New feeder training

[N ID Goose mom]

Right now they are separated but once they do have access to their little pond it will be on the part of the property that the goats have access to. Currently there are three shelters on the property and the goats don't always use them they tend to like to stay out unless it's raining. We are toying with the idea of giving the geese their own little spot may be raised up with a smaller ramp that the goats would not want to get in. They still have a few weeks of growing till I want to put them out.

If the ramp doesn’t work you could make a small run that you let them out daily to enjoy grazing and swimming but also shut up to keep the goats out of.

I don’t know, but my goats love to climb up on everything and would take it as a challenge. They would use the ramp to climb on and jump off of. They might not use it to get into the coop but more likely on top of the coop. Ours are pills at times.

Geese, by nature, are grazers so they should get plenty to eat without the feeder. They may take a nibble now and then. While they are in their kiddie-pen, until they have free access to grass, give them some all-flock feed if you can not find water-fowl feed. Ours were raised by their parents and have had nothing but grazing their entire lives...except for a bit of corn and oats in the winter time.

The goats will definitely use it to climb up but I'm hoping the shelter itself will be small enough that they won't want to be in it they can climb on it if they want shoot I might even make another ramp off the top of that so they could have a platform to sit on my goats sure love to climb
