That's a long list. Here are a couple of things that I noticed. For the pen you have chicken wire. I agree that chicken wire will be enough to keep a goose confined, but is it good enough to keep predators out? Not sure where you are and what the threats are where you're located but you may need more than just chicken wire. For food, I have two geese on about a 1/4 acre at the back of our house. We got them in July last year. Every blade of grass / weed / plant / bush is G-O-N-E! Now, I realize winter is just ending but I'm pretty sure that once spring hits, my dirt will still be dirt. So we're working on a rotation plan to give the plants a chance to rebound. Now to be fair, we also have Muscovy ducks, but they don't eat near the amount of greens that our two geese do. Chinese ganders don't "honk", they screech!! It gets very loud. Heaven help your ears if he lets loose in a confined area (think garage). I may need hearing aids by the time he's finished letting me know the postman just pulled up.... ;-) There are a couple of threads here that have a list of useful items to have on hand. The specialty medications I wouldn't get unless you know that you'll definitely need them, and then I would have to ask why introduce any animal if you know they're going to get sick. On the other hand, I certainly understand if you're out in the middle of nowhere, it's nice to not have to Amazon an emergency shipment or drive two hours for poultry medicine. I'd carefully think about expiration dates though if that were the case.

Other than that, I think you've done a great job connecting all the dots.
