I've been looking into starter feed (optimistic of me, right?
), and it doesn't appear that there is anything sold locally which really fits the bill for goslings. Does anyone have an opinion on using this chick starter for goslings:

Also, if I'm fortunate enough to have all three of the eggs hatch, how much starter do you think I need to purchase to get me through til I switch them to grower? Thanks for the advice.
