Geese and ducks

[rp riley]

I have been wanting to get a pair of geese to go in with my ducks. My first question is if I get goslings when can I put them in with the ducks? Another question is do I raise them the same as ducks or do they have different requirements?

One more question, would it be okay to get two female geese instead of a pair

Geese and ducks, as I have seen someone else say it, "do not speak the same language." They can be raised together, I think, but after they mature they will not really coexist well.

My goose took the ducks under her wing but now that the drake has hit mating season he has taken over and won't let the goose use the pool. It's a nightmare considering it's in the 90's and I want my goose to have her pool back.

When I had them the ducks and geese on my farm pond never really had anything to do with each other than when I fed them.

I have two female geese in with my lady ducks and apart from some light bickering over treats, they seem to rub along pretty well !

They also share a house but the geese are in with the ladies who have the 'strong personalities'....

I've never had issues before...so I'm thinking it's the Khaki Campbell breed.
