Use commercial waterfowl feed

Solution

Supplement forage with a balanced commercial waterfowl or goose feed, especially for goslings and laying geese.

Explanation

Commercial feeds are formulated to meet specific nutritional needs. Use a starter feed (high protein, ~20-22%) for goslings, a grower feed, and then a layer feed (with added calcium, ~16-18% protein) for breeding/laying geese or a maintenance feed for non-layers. Waterfowl feeds contain necessary niacin levels, which geese require more of than chickens.

Notes

Avoid medicated chicken feed unless specifically recommended by a vet.
