What kind of feeder/trough do I use to feed my adult Toulouse and Buff geese?? They will be full grown in the summer and I dont know if their bills can deal with the chicken type of trough.

I use round plastic pans that fit into the center of a tire. Elevating the pan a little and it can easily be removed and disinfected. Works for me.

Those shallow black rubber tubs that they sell at the farm stores for feeding young animals. They scrub up pretty well and last for years.

I use the standard galvanished sheep troughs which have internal divisions. These feeder allow the geese to feed seperately and prevent bullying. But anyway any solid heavy container that they cann't topple over will do.
