    Goslings and Chicks in Same Brooder?

    I have my 7 chicks and 2 goslings in one large brooder. They are all 4 weeks old, and the biggest issue I've had so far has been the goslings nipping at the chicks tail feathers. The chicks can roost up above the goslings if they want to, and do at night, but when they get nipped they usually...

    I've had ducks for several years now, and I finally have the supplies to venture out to other waterfowl! I've been doing research, and I'm completely set on Pilgrim Geese. The only problem is it's too late to find any babies. I'm very experienced in raising baby ducks through the cold winter...

    Can geese live with chickens? I have goslings and I am letting them roam around the area while someone is watching them. I also am free-ranging chickens.
