Geese grow much faster. Like WAY faster. They also need a bit deeper water to drink in my experience. They get their bills really in there. Ducks drink in a more shallow water easier, geese like to kind of dunk their bills in, then tip back to swallow. Geese also seem to want to hang out in a bit deeper water in my experience. I bought livestock watering bins for mine to play in, they prefer them over the shallower kiddie pools (at least mine do) so they can actually float instead of merely wade. My bins have a smaller circumference but greater depth than kiddie pools. I have three for my six geese and dozen+ ducks. I put some pavers around the outside edges and some rocks around the sides on the inside so they could climb in/out easily when they were big enough to be outside with pools always available, but small enough to have trouble getting in/out easily.
Also, if given the chance (my) geese greatly prefer grass/greens over feed. My ducks like grass, but they like feed too. If my geese have feed next to or in grass, they’ll eat the grass first.
