I have not raised geese and chickens together. I do have both, just have not had them both in the brooder at the same time (ducks/chickens yes). I can tell you that water fowl are much wetter than chickens - they (geese/ducks) love water from the day they hatch. Remember that the gosling needs to be able to dunk his beak in the water dish to clear nostrils.

My geese do not really like my chickens or ducks.

I think they are snobs (my geese

) but still adorable.

After a few weeks the goose would pick on the chick tails.The goose is now in its own pen .He cried all the time so the big softy I am
I went and got a second goose to put in there.
