Should I pull the goslings from their parents?

Quick question. Our goose hatched out 5 of 9 eggs, and has decided she's done. I want to sell the goslings. Yesterday and today they had the goslings out. Yesterday, I could walk up to the little ones, but tonight they freaked out when I tried to help them through the doorway into the coop. At the moment, I have them in a livestock water tank with the heat lamp. If they sell, I don't know if they will be going as meat birds, or someone's pet/weed eater/decorative lawn bird, so I don't want them thinking that people are the enemy. Should I put them back in with their parents, or should I keep them separate? Mom and Dad are NOT particularly people friendly, so I believe they will learn to fear humans.

Thanks for any thoughts or advice you may offer. I'm not sure what breed they are. African? Or...? They both have orange eye rims. An old neighbor gave them to us several years ago, and this is the first time she's hatched out anything.
