I find that anything floating about in water is hard for geese and goslings to resist.  so, to get them eating I´ll often chop up some lettuce, really fine, and float it in their water. You can put some niacin in their water and they´ll take it in when they drink it and also when they´re getting their lettuce.  Frozen peas are great for adults, but with babies I´d be inclined to thaw them first and split them.   Greens are far more important than chick crumb.  So feed the crumb by all means, but not as their main feed, as greens will do them so much more good. Wake them up, get that niacin into them with some peas and romaine lettuce.    

They are

When i feed young water fowl peas I put a little water over them and pop them into the microwave long enough to thaw then mash them be sure your gosling have chick grit when feeding anything other than their crumble. Be sure the peas are not too hot.

Much thanks!!! I mixed nutritional yeast with water gave to them by dropper every 15 min. They are standing! My feed store where I bought them at told me I could just feed them chick starter. I had no info about the B vitamins and niacin. Hope I caught it in time!

Goslings should be on waterfowl starter feed so they can get what they need. Chicken feed is different than waterfowl crumbles or gamebirds crumbles.. Chicken have different needs than geese and most feed stores are not up to date on what geese needs...

All goslings only need the grower feed for two weeks then change over to adult feed slowly.

And if it´s anything like here, you can´t even get it! So, then it´s chick crumb and the other necessaries.

Glad to hear they´re doing better.  Phew!  

I am new to geese, we have ducks and chickens. Wanted geese for sometime. It is heartbreaking knowing I could have prevented the malnutrition seizures. So very very thankful for all the help. So happy I caught it in time and for BYC peeps!!! Thanks all!!
