I asked a similar question about raising ducklings and goslings together and the overwhelming reply was that large goslings will crush the smaller ducklings. But what if I am raising a small breed of gosling such as Brown Chinese that list as 10lbs for females and 12lbs for males (when fully grown) with a large breed of duckling such as a Pekin which is listed as only 1lb smaller. Would that take away any danger of crushing from the goslings?
Some replies also said that goslings and ducklings raised together will try to breed when they reach maturity. But if they are of similar size, is that really an issue? When I was a kid, our rooster would always jump on the female ducks and never harmed them..
