not eating

[MysticScorpio82]

Well, he's fine.
eating and everything normally.
This weekends project is to work out better water management.
In the mean time, I raised their water buckets up high and made them a platform to climb on to drink..... geese are too clumsy to climb... and the goats think its fun.

What a clever solution!

I am glad to hear the little guy is feeling better!!

Glad to hear he's better. I have the same situation -- geese in with my goats/llamas. One llama DOES like to lie by their swimming pool on hot days, and the goats will drink from it as I am refilling it. Their main water source is a trough for mixing concrete that I raised up on several pallets, cut to the size of the trough. When there was any kind of step/platform around it, the geese STILL managed to climb up on it. My geese seem pretty agile -- they hop too LOL.

Hopefully that won't be a problem for you. I have two goats in the yard where the geese's night coop is, and they pass through briefly and get fed there. I have a watering tub there that is basically too small for the geese but they do step in it sometimes. You have to watch the smaller buckets as geese can get stuck in them and drown. I just empty and clean that one at least 2x a day, after the geese go through.
