I am new to geese, i have just one baby gosling thats a couple weeks old. I have some baby pilgrims on the way.
I got this little gosling because I was at a poultry swap and it was the only one. The farmer said someone bought all the others, Im thinking how awful to buy all the others and leave this one all alone. So Of course i brought the little gosling home. I think it may be a embden but not sure. I asked the old farmer said" i dont know what breed it is I have over 100 adult geese on my farm, some are white and some are gray"..... So its fuzzy and yellow, my guess is she/he will be white so Im guessin gbut donr know, maybe an embden.
Anyways my question is this do I need to give the goose grit? I havent but wondering if i should...
I have free range chickens, lots of baby chicks, ducks of all ages. I have many different foods for all the different poultry, the gosling has been eating chick starter. My local farm store dosnt have waterfowl starter, so Im not sure what I should feed her/him. My adult ducks have been on waterfowl food but for adult birds, My free range are on layer pellets. I just dont know what to feed the gosling.
