Only about 16 more hours left until my trio of goslings arrive from Metzer Farms. I am incredibly excited. I wanted to make sure my brooder clears the BYC Goose patrols inspection. So here it is, sorry for the horrible pictures.
They are in a large open dog crate ($15 at a yard sale) with paper bags around the sides with a hanging feeder and a medium water bowl/supply (I have a larger one to replace it as they grow), and a 120 W red bulb getting to about 97-100 F.
Is this ok BYC Goose Masters?
They Arrived!!!
I could not resist taking them outside for a few minutes. We are bonding they come to "Gooooseeee, come on goose." about 1/2 the time.
