Quite suddenly, my geese have developed a taste for protein! Their favorite meal du jour?Earthworms.
Yes, EARTHWORMS!!!!!
Let the battle begin! This might get ugly!
How did it start? I will tell you...Ordinarily, the geese swim in a large plastic kiddie pool. However, once it got colder and the water began to freeze, the pool was likely to crack. So, instead, I picked up two large rubber basins to use during the winter months. They proved to be low maintenance and they had an added benefit...their wet bottoms attracted worms. Beautiful, fat worms for me -- or, I should say, for my garden!
Now it seems that the goose girls are on to me. When they see me changing their water, it's as if I have sign hanging over my head that says "FREE LUNCH!!!"
It's unfair! It's two against one! They can wolf them down faster than I can pick them! However, I would not be a good goose mom if I didn't let them have a FEW, right? They need a balanced diet and if that includes protein...
I have a solution! To paraphrase Marie Antoinette..."LET THEM EAT SLUGS!!"
