Use appropriate bedding

Solution

Provide a thick layer of absorbent bedding material like straw or pine shavings on the shelter floor.

Explanation

Bedding provides insulation, comfort, and absorbs moisture and droppings. A deep layer (6+ inches) helps keep geese warm and dry, especially in winter. It should be cleaned out and replaced regularly or managed using a deep litter method.

Notes

Avoid cedar shavings, which can be irritating. Straw is often preferred.
