Raising keets with gosling? Okay or no?

[Tiranni]

Next spring we are planning on getting a pair of goslings, along with 5 guinea fowl. Can we have them in the same brooder area, or would you recommend keeping them separate? I've read they are okay with ducklings, with enough room, but with goslings- they are so much bigger.

It is not advisable to brood keets and goslings together. They should not be brooded with any waterfowl because of the need to keep the keets dry.

Waterfowl and keets have different nutrition needs also.
