Goslings will probably trample the chicks. I'd separate them. I know that they are shipped in different compartments too because of the trampling thing.
 
I would separate them. For some reason, Chinese geese seem to step over everything and everyone and the goslings are a lot bigger, so they can do some real hurt to those chicks.

Chinese geese can be fun as adults, however ganders can get very loud and aggressive once they reach maturity. So, don't be surprised if your loveable goslings turn into biting machines as adults. It's not a given, though, and some turn out really nice depending on how you raise them.
