I am trying something different this year. I switched every one over to all flock geese ducks and chickens with oyster shells on the side. now I have 3 baby geese and more on the way so I got some flock raiser will this be alright for the babies will it have enough niacin in it. oh the all flock only come in pellets that's why I have to use flock raiser crumbles. thanks.

According the Purina's claims, Flock Raiser has adequate niacin for ducks.

Is All Flock or Flockraiser OK for goslings?

Yes, flock raiser is perfect for goslings, although since they grow so fast adding a supplemental source to their feed or water wouldn't be a bad idea to help prevent leg problems.
 
I'm getting conflicting reports, told to use chick starter (non medicated) Is the All Flock I'm feeding my adults enough for week old goslings? What supplemental source are you talking about, brewers yeast?

Plain Chick Starter does not have enough Niacin for waterfowl, that's why its best to feed an All Flock type feed or a feed formulated for ducks/geese, If you do choose to feed chick starter you should add a supplemental source of niacin to it like brewers yeast, nutritional yeast, a poultry vitamin or B complex.
 
I feed Purina flock Raiser crumbles and mixed fresh grass to my goslings, both free choice. They eat like little piglets (falling asleep in their food dish, lol) and grow overnight.
