Single Gosling for 2 weeks. Can I raise it with Chicks until then?

[ElliottM]

Hi, I have a beautiful flock of geese and this year I decided to incubate some of there eggs, I didn't know if they where fertilized as I have on Gander Goostav and 4 girls where of 2 Is African geese like Goosi and One is a White Chinese girl and I have on Buff girl. Didn't really know if he did his duty as he is quite a funny fellow. But long story short, only one hatched some where not fertilized and the other one's I guess is on me. But now I only have one gosling for 2weeks until I can have 3 more, can I raise the gosling with turkey chicks and some chicks until then?

I've done exactly what you are talking about. The only problem is you might wind up with strange bedfellows in your flock in the future. I've got a duck who thinks he's a goose, what's worse is I'm getting a lot of infertile goose eggs because the lone duck hatched first and dominates the much bigger geese. This is their first year. I'm not sure how long it's going to take for the ganders to figure out they are bigger than the duck. The duck has the orange bill
