Hello.
I currently have 5 chickens in a 15’x50’ coop/run. We got them this past February. Not a year old but they are currently laying and getting along.
Question. A friend has to get rid of her goose. Maybe 20 weeks. Not sure if it’s a boy or girl. How will it do with my chickens? Housing? Dominance? Trying to mate?
Any and all help is welcome.
Thank you.
 
I keep my geese in with my chickens, but you will need to get another goose to keep it company too. Geese are flock animals and they need to have at least one friend of their own kind. Chickens, ducks, etc, aren't enough and don't cut it.

My geese don't bother my chickens, aside from asserting dominance and moving them out of the way if they're somewhere that they want to be.
 
I've always had my Chinese geese with my chickens with no problems. I have a single male guinea and he keeps everybody in line.
