What to do when you first get waterfowl?

Chinese geese (new member)
I have 3 males and two females (siblings) needing homes. I’d need to see evidence of PIC required before I’d let them go. The females lay have laid about 40 eggs per year.

We thought it had to be a 4-legged predator and were setting traps accordingly, but finally figured out it was the ravens by witnessing their methods with our own eyes.
