Chicks, Poult, and Gosling

[lolalynn]

I have had chickens for several years now, but am new to raising and hatching chicks. However, everything seems to be going well thanks to all the great postings on this website! However, my son has a friend that has a poult and gosling that she wants to get rid of. I'm pretty sure they hatched them but don't know if it was incubator or momma but I told her I would take them. I know nothing about raising turkey or geese. I think they are about a week old. I have 30 five and six week old chicks outside in a run separated from my free range chickens with a heat lamp for night time. They've been out there about 4 days and seem to be loving it, and actually went up by themselves last night for the first time. I have 14 one week old chicks in a brooder in my house. Can I put these two new guys with any of my chicks? or do they need to be separated?

They should not be raised together. Turkeys can pick up a lethal disease from chickens. And gosling tend to pick on chicks mercilessly.
