can i put newly hatched goslings in with 4 day old?

[josiegirl]

i have separate batches of goslings 4 days apart i figured i could put them together but the size difference surprised me!!! plus when i put one in there they tried to stand on him and pecked him a bit. not bad but i took him out. hes not fluffed yet but they never seem to fluff in the incubtor with the humidity so i want to put him in the while the others hatch. what do you think?

I would not try this until the younger goslings are a week old and completely mobile.

turns out we couldnt find ourother heat lamp anywhere so we put the young goslings in a box within the brooder to dry off overnight. worked out fine when we introduced them the next day
