Will geese adopt 1 week old ducklings?

[Triplell]

I have a gander and goose in with some of my Rouen ducks. I hatched out 11 ducklings and am wondering if the geese will adopt the ducklings as I really don't want to brood these ducklings in the barn,they are so messy and stinky and alot of work.

Did you try putting your ducklings with the geese?

Well Miss Lydia,

It didn't go so well so they ended up in the brooder coop in the barn. We left them out with the geese and ducks for close to 30 min before I pulled the plug cause it started to get chilly and I didn't want them to get too cold.
