I added geese to my flock this year.. they have been on duck feed and grass all summer but now that it’s fall I’m starting to panic about what to feed them this winter. We recently culled our ducks (they were raised for food) and I’ve noticed just how little duck pellets they actually eat.
of course the internet is full of what to feed but it’s confusing. If they aren’t a fan of the duck pellets what should I offer. I have tried cracked corn but I’m not sure if the geese or the ducks ate them. That I will try again.
a few things
I am in the mountains of southern vermont in the snow belt we have snow of the ground from November till the end of April early May
I do not have an area to store a large quantity of feed (meaning a ton at a time)
I do have access to high quality hay
So help a woman who loves her geese out.. what to feed and how to get it!!
