Goats with Gamebird Feed

[Getaway Gal]

I know that goats cannot have chicken food...what about the gamebird food that we give our two chinesse geese? We were planning to keep them together during the day.
Thanks.

If you can, show me or list the tag(ingredients).

I would tend to say no. Gamebird feed is usually very high protein (over 20%) and contains a lot of corn.

If it's not labelled for goats, consider it poisonous to goats. If it's not labelled for chickens, consider it poisonous to chickens.. So on, so forth, for all species..

Even if it's not poisonous, pretend that it is, and you'll never have to be the one biting your fingernails on the other end of a "Help! My goat ate chicken feed!" thread..

are you free feeding the birds? Goats will chow it down quicker that you think--I lost 2 registered bucks when I first got goats, they popped off the lid of the feeding tub and lost them to bloat-no one around here knew anything about goats and I didn't have internet then. Personally I would not chance it, I would keep the birds separate from the goats. geese also like water and may contaminate the water.
