Just got a pip on my goose egg...can I put a baby goose with baby chicks in the brooder ? I only had one goose egg ....

What other choice do you have? if you have the mother goose see if she will adopt her own baby (50-50 at best), raise the gosling alone and it never will be normal, raise it with chicks for company and let it grow up thinking it is a chicken it may learn otherwise later in life.

My baby geese used to eat the feathers off of chicks when they and the chicks got to a certain age--- but it was only one breed of chick, and only one color within that breed, that they were attracted to. But it didn't seem to do the geese any harm to be raised with chickens.
