Welcome to BYC. Good luck raising those babies! Unfortunately I know close to nothing about ducks and geese.

They are geese. Goslings are fairly easy to raise

I wouldn't assume that, like all poultry, they so need maintenance, and aren't as easy to take care of as it usually seems. Water, feed, a pool, and shelter are just the basics, and there is SO much more to it then that. There is a lot to learn here, so just make sure you do your research.

Tips-
Have a good setup, with a and setup, coop and run, it is very difficult to clean,
EX. Not enough space in coop and run.
Only one pen (it helps a lot to have tow pens to switch them between. That gives one time to grow back, so its not super muddy. Muddy run = muddy coop.)


As long as you do all your research, have a good setup, and lots knowledge, they are fairly easy to raise. Hope I can help and welcome to BYC!
