Most of the country has had drought for months if the ground is still 'very wet' how wet will it be when it starts raining? That could make it liable to poach, difficult for you and muddy for the geese. Muddy goslings with no-where to go could get ill. Could it actually start to flood? Geese often benefit from grass to graze, you might need to keep low stock density to protect the ground and keep the grass. Plus if the reeds are long they might need to be kept trimmed to stop them clogging up the geese's insides if they ate them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
