How do you take care of baby geese?

Answer 1

Baby geese are a joy and easy to care for. They will imprint and thin that the caretaker is it's mother and bond for life. If they are not paid a lot of attention they will not be as sociable and may grow up to be the terror that you have always heard about them being. They should be kept indoors or in a warm place with a light bulb above their cage until they have shed their down and feathered out. They will enjoy un- fertilized grass clippings cut 1/2 in long and should be fed chick starter ration of game bird starter ration as their primary food until feathering out. After that you can transition them over to pelletized game bird or chicken food by mixing it with the starter and phasing the starter out. The should have clean drinking water at all times, and should not be raised standing on anything with a slick floor to prevent straddle leg (newspapers should be torn into shreds if used). They will enjoy a bath but need to be towel dried out of the wind until fully feathered. I had an infant daughter and a toddler who I raised along with their 1st Easter goose. The goose had lots of attention from me and supervised attention from my babies and was always gentle with them and other kids as a result. The make great watchdogs too since they never seem to forget a face and will fuss at strangers. Should your goose be female the eggs are great for eating boiling and baking with.

Answer 2

in order to take care of a baby goose you have to treat it like a mother goose would. This reason is because if you treat it like a regular person if it gets into the wild it would soon die because of no food and lack of training. This is correct.
