My neighbor & I share a property line. We have a coop that we also share. The coop is right on our shared property line. We have this arrangement so that we can raise the chickens & share the costs & eggs together. My neighbors have wanted to raise chickens for a long time but both of them work all day long. They don’t have the time to raise their own flock. We do. Hence the arrangement.

our current coop can house 12 chickens & has an attached run that’s roughly 8 x 12. They have an old coop that came with their property that’s 4 x 8 x 6. My neighbor wants to raise geese & ducks in it if we can move it & attach it to our current run & coop. This won’t happen for a while but I’m doing my due diligence now by researching.

My questions are thus:

1. Can geese & chickens be raised together in the same run? I know ducks & chickens work.

2. What special conditions should I account for to raise both ducks & geese?

3. Anything else I should know about ahead of time trying to raise ducks & geese I haven’t mentioned that I should know about?

Thank you ahead of time for any information. It’s greatly appreciated!
 
Geese will run everyone out of their territory during breeding season. They will need their own area.
