New Gosling

[Chlochlo151]

Hi everyone! I'm a new gosling and would love some tips on raising her to be a strong adult goose from some more experienced goose lovers. Thanks!

Lots of snuggles and time, they’re very social creatures throughout their lives

The correct start feed: something that’s 20% protein that is formulated for a mixed flock or waterfowl so that it has enough b vitamins

Free access to water

A multivitamin and a b vitamin mix incase the feed just isn’t doing it

Chick grit

Proper bedding, pine shavings, no hay or rice straw which can harbor mold and mites

Access to areas she can graze when she’s old enough, that’s free of predators

Oystershell when she’s old enough

An all flock, multi flock type feed when she’s old enough

Shelter from the elements during storms or at night that’s secure from predators

A good place to take a bath, baby pools are perfect

A friend. Geese should never be alone, the anxiety it causes is intense, the best friend she can have besides you is another gosling so that there’s someone who completely understands her that can be with her when you can’t.
