Introducing goslings to single goose

[GoofyNewt]

Should i have anything to worry about when introducing goslings to a single african goose? I've read that usually ganders are what to worry about.
Also I was thinking that since she is the only goose(4 ducks, 1 goose) that she might readily adopt the babies, but just want to make sure.

My pair of Chinese adopted some Cayuga Ducklings. I’m not really sure there is too much to worry about, but I am still pretty new to geese so I haven’t seen all their behaviours yet.

Every animal's an individual; best to do it carefully. However, everything I've read about geese says it should be fine (My geese are less than a year old, but I've been researching for spring).

I gave my pair goslings but I waited until they were 3 weeks old. They spent time with each other daily but I was worried they might get trampled my gander is a clutch. Probably by 2 weeks they’d be okay with the goose as long as they have already spending time together with supervision. I’d keep the goose an goslings in their own area.

We need pictures of the babies to better advise...

I totally agree

I don't have geese but when I introduced my 2 baby Muscovy to my kahki I first did supervised play time in a controlled area till they were old enough to be out in my large run. By the time they were large enough my kahki didn't fuss as bad over them.

You did it right slow introductions always work best and now you have a flock that gets along. What did you end up with sex wise?

Cocoa (kahki) is drake, and the two babies I'm sure are both boys too. Their faces are pretty red/pink and starting to look puffy.
