I live in a rual area but no one seems to know how to care for pet geese.
This is my 1st goose- african gray i believe- about 1 week old this past April 2nd- so getting close to 5 months old now.
goose ended up with angel wing from what i believe over proten from over feeding and being on starter feed to long.
all i can find in the feed stores is 10 lb bags of what is marked starter feed- i was told their is no other type sold locally since their all butchered for their meat .
1st question- what feed should i be feeding
2nd question - my goose screams from the time i let her out till i put feed out for her- then betwen grass eating runs back to the bowl screaming for more food. how much daily should she be eating in feed- ive filed a dual small dog bowl and goose ate it all down in a half hr then looked for more. i have a feeling if i put all 10 lbs out it wold be gone in the day and ied have a very sick goose that would be ready to pop.
i know its not good but ive done on a single day as a test- 2 small bowls feed, 2 bannas and one huge peach - all gone within hrs the goose will not leave the fod till its all gone.
