I don't think there is a simple solution to feeding them. While my trio was smaller they could slip through the gate into the pen where I fed them and the chickens while I distracted the sheep with a scoop of their own grain. As far as getting along, honesty expose them to as much as you can while they are young. If you wait until they are too old they will not except them! Mine are good with sheep, cows, goats, and large breed chickens. They don't like ducks, cats, and small breed chickens as well as bantams. Mine are under a year old, but even as this year's hatch they are not very supple of mind. They have no interest in doing anything but murder any ducks I try to integrate with them. I would be careful with goats, though. I only have one and she is new. The emus definitely knew she was different, but aside from tasting her little brush tail and ogling her long nubian ears they left her be. I would be very worried if the goats were adults throwing an emu with them. Mine got a few love taps from the sheep, but the sheep aren't bullied they just want their space and the emus learned to stay out of their way. They will all still share a feeder if possible.
