I found online that it's the other way around: ducks and geese need less protein when their wing feathers are growing in, because otherwise they may grow too fast, which will result in problems with the muscles/ligaments of the wings (they can't keep up with the growing weight of the feathers).Excellent advice, also I forgot about mentioning the niacin, which is why they need to be on flock raiser/ all flock.
Also it reminded me that the other reason is chick start doesn’t always have the amount of protein goslings need.
We purposedly got waterfowl food with less protein in it when the wing feathers started growing, to prevent this.
