Done plenty of research over the last year or so and I'll finally be getting my babies by the end of this week - are there any last minute tips for things I might not have thought of?
 
Well we don’t know what all you have I saw your brooder and heat plate looks good next is feed! And if not waterfowl starter you’ll need some niacin supplement. What kind of waterer are you using a lot of us make our own they can dunk their heads and the mess is kept smaller. Put a pan or something under to catch the water.

And here is the waterer I had in mind, I want to tidy up any sharp edges of course or possibly widen the holes but want to make sure they can fully submerge their beak without being able to climb in and get wet

Not sure Isaac, I'll double check but I'm sure it must say somewhere.

What are recommended niacin levels please?

I want to make sure I have a goose first aid kit too, think I already have an article here bookmarked along with some common medicines and antiseptics etc.
 
The vitamins and additives note was attached to the bag, just had a look and doesn't appear to me room niacin so looks like I might have to source some supplements just to be safe, im sure it won't be difficult
