Feeding geese in a field.

[graham]

Hi,I have now moved all my geese into a field well orchard.Should I give them additional feed on top of grazing and if so what and how much.

Thanks Graham.

As long as there's enough grass, they don't need anything else but it helps to keep them interested in you by throwing them a handful or two of corn. That way they are more maneagable and will come when you want them to.

Hi,thanks for the reply do you throw the corn straight on the grass do they find it OK.

Thanks Graham.

 

[Chuck]

Yes, but use it to bring them to you.

Corn or layers pellets are what mine like, and yes straight onto the grass is just fine, although in a feeder will lessen the amount wasted, the embdens I used to have free range just got corn in the evening in the summer, in winter they got as much as they wanted before they went to bed as the grazing is poor in winter so they can loose alot of condition otherwise, also when frosty or snow covered I'd give them as much as they liked in the morning too, they'd mob me when I came out the feed room!!
