Sebastopol Geese Thread !!!!!!!!!! SHOW YOUR PICS !!!!!!!!!!

[CelticOaksFarm]

I am OCD about diet around here. Made a change this year that I now regret making, and have switched back away from. For those who are curious we switched to FR, but lost body weight on all of the geese and feather quality on the Sebastopols.

Oat hay is a favorite of everyone here, doesn't matter who's bloodlines, they all like it. We however have grass year round for them. They still snitch from the goats hay manger.

Whole grains are the largest part of our diet here. great weight gain, good feather quality.

Barley, peas and lentils all are very hard to digest by birds, especially the barley. And I don't recommend kelp because of the salt content.

D corn is distillers corn that is already been distilled and spent on making alcohol or ethanol. I have removed most corn from my waterfowl's diet.

I read somewhere recently that the english split peas digest more easily and are ok for poultry. Do you have any idea if this is true? I hope so, because it's one of the ingredients in the organic feed that I use.

I buy dried split peas and add to the wheat/ whole oats and 7 way scratch I feed to my geese/ducks /chickens I also feed Flock raiser along with this mix.

Celtic, I have founds hay that has Alfalfa, oat hay and timothy hay blended in, would that be a good mix for the geese? I read that geese are not partial to alfalfa.

I don't think in smaller quantities mixed in with other grains that these foods are that bad, but when you have the peas, the lentils and the barley all in one feed it may be very harsh to the system.

Thank you! The feed only has split peas and there isn't a large amount. It's primarily whole grains.

Thanks Pips&Peeps, I was hoping that it would be ok to supliment that to there pellet feed, that would be SOOO much cheeper to do but from what everyone has said I will keep searching, I might be able to ask them to take out some stuff and add some stuff to it.

Here are some pictures from today, Please excuse the messy pond the pictures were taken through the kitchen window so they are a little blurry.
