Hello! I am currently awaiting word on the hatching of my little goslings, they are pipping as I type and I'll get the call to pick them up in a day or so. I've always wanted geese and I'm very excited!
I've been busy, nesting, for lack of a better word lol. Went to the feed store earlier and picked up what was supposed to be waterfowl starter but it is game food starter. 30% protein. I know that is too much for my babies and I won't even try it.
My question is, what should I feed them in case i cannot find waterfowl starter? If I were to get unmedicated chick starter, what would be the correct mixture of Brewers yeast to chick starter for 8 African goslings?
I've waited a very long time to have these little ones, and I'm terrified of hurting them. I raised a mallard duck just fine as a kid, but for some reason this scares me.
