Can I put my goslings outside now?

Goslings are disgusting. I have three china goslings, about a month old. They are downy, just starting to get a few tail feathers. Can I put them out in the coop now with the chickens? The run is secure against predators and the coop is dry and insulated and draft free. I could possibly bring a dog crate into the coop and put them in there during the night so they can be warmer.

It is warm here during the day, and cool at night, but well above freezing.

If I keep them in the bathtub any longer my husband is going to divorce me

I would also like to put them in with the hens asap because they are NOT friendly goslings and I am hoping the hens can temper their freakouts a little bit.

I know goslings are super poopers. They can probably go outside in the run. The dog crate in the coop during the night sounds like a good idea.
