Can baby geese be raised with baby chickens? I know ducks can be raised with geese, and chickens with ducks, but I'm not sure about this. I thought about getting a couple some (about 4-6) yesterday, but I delayed the idea so I could put them in a larger group. I am going to have about 12 ducks and 1 goose in this order, so I was wondering if I could add about 6 chickens or so into that. They would all ship the same week. I'm just not sure if a goose and chickens would mix.
 
It is possible. But I don't recommend it. Geese are usually get pretty good size in a short amount of time. And they are usually not aware of their large size, easily stepping on chicks and such.
 
Geese grow much faster than chickens are are extremely messy. You would have a hard time keeping the chicks dry. They would also get stepped on. They would be fine once the chickens get larger and can stay out of the way.
