Hi,thanks for the advice I will try them on carrots.I have been feeding them on pellets rather than wheat as we have run out of wheat,the silos on the local farms are all empty.And the price local feed merchants want for bagged wheat is rediculas,I can get layers pellets in bulk for nearly half the price.
But thank goodness the grass has started to grow again.

Yeah, it's got to be growing - you're not far from us and husband has just done a second mow in one of our paddocks (the one without grazing geese) so something has to be coming up!

Hi,yes I keep watching the grass,I want to let them out ont it but at the same time I want it to establish its self enough so they don't just wreck it.They will finaly be going out tomorrow,I bet they will go mad.

Any geese I've had over the years have always raided the chickens layers pellets, they've always done well and made good table birds.
