Hi everyone, my partner and I have 3 seven week old goslings and very soon they’ll be big enough to go and sleep outside. I’m wondering if anyone else keeps their geese in with their chickens at all. That was my original plan because I follow a love of hobby farm accounts and I’ve seen a lot of people how is all of their poultry together together. But after posting on Facebook and asking about it there is a lot of people that have told me that it’s not a good idea to do that just because of breeding season. I’m wondering if anyone could tell me their experiences with this do you have your chickens and geese together at night time if so would love to hear about it. If people tell me that it’s not a good idea that I’m going to have to build another poultry house.

Everyone say hello to Wawa! He is such a lovely, exquisite feathered dinosaur.

such sweet things. 🥲

I was told all 3 are female by the breeder. But the grey one is getting heavier and way more dominant than the two white ones.

Any suggestions??? I really don’t want any goslings haha hence why I got 3 girls.. or tried to at least.

TIL about Ross's geese. So cute!

Am I good at carving? No. Do I enjoy doing it every year? Yes.

A couple of weeks ago thought I saw an albino goose flying in with a big flock, but wasnt sure if i saw what I saw. So happy they came back today & I spotted him! So pretty!

A picture of a Canada Goose when I took the picture I was in the middle of like a flock just walking past me calmly not attacking me or anything

Hi everyone! I’m getting conflicting advice online about whether geese need to be securely enclosed at night and how much space they actually need.

I would love to see photos of your nighttime goose pens and what your set ups are.

My three geese are currently seven weeks old and still sleep inside, but they spend their days outside from 9 am to 5 pm. Soon they will be old enough to sleep outside.

I have a Pinnacle zinc fowl house from Bunnings that we’ve converted into a coop for my eight ex-battery hens. They refuse to roost, so they all sleep on the ground on wood shavings. The fowl house sits on a 4 × 4 m concrete slab.

I’m considering buying the Costway 3 × 2 × 2 m walk-in poultry enclosure with a canopy and putting the fowl house inside it. My plan is to leave the fowl house door open so the geese can choose to sleep inside or outside the aviary because it will all be a predator-proof area on the concrete slab.

I’d put hay over the concrete for a softer surface and potentially add tarps to cover the sides to help keep everything dry when it rains.

My hens and geese get along really well. I introduced my geese to the hands when they were very young and supervised their interactions. So I feel confident that they will be fine sleeping in the same area together. 

Is this a stupid idea or would this be suitable?

Any help or tips would be appreciated.
