Can chickens and geese share the same coop?
Answers:
They can but it isn't recommended. I breed and show purebred poultry and keep geese. Geese require a large area of grazing like a field. They also need water to bathe in, a paddling pool or similar will do. They produce lots and lots of smells poop. Your chickens will peck about on the same ground that the geese poop on and will quickly become sick. Don't do it.
Yes. If they're nesting or whatever make sure the geese don't crush the chicken eggs.
Sounds possible. Try it and let us know how it turns out.Like, did the chicken population diminish rapidly?
yes, but as it turns out, geese are the types that leave notes about the washing and worry about the meter readings, whereas chickens just tend to eat lots of drugs and throw stuff around. oooooh... i smell a sitcom!!
Don't think so, I've never seen chickens and geese in MY co-op, well not at the same time anyway.
YES I have chickens and geese sharing the same coop
My grandma keeps chickens and guineas in the same coop and they get along fine. As long as the chickens are used to seeing the geese around then it will be safe.
Hello there - the answer is yes! We breed rare/pure breed chickens and also have 4 geese.lately one of the old Roosters decided that he didnt want to be with the other chickens anymore so he packed up and moved in with the geese.. the gander (male goose) doesnt seem to mind him or view him as a threat in any way so we let them get on with it.
I have just renovated an old summer-house that we have in the grounds where the geese now live and we have a corner/one side of the house for them while we have chickens in nest boxes/cages on the other. the only thing with geese is that they are forragers and they are beautiful cheekily inquisitive birds and will peck and investigate anything new to them. so as your first answer says be careful of eggs being left about etc...they will eat the same food too, although geese go out and graze all day.
Have fun and enjoy them .. we wouldnt be without ours now:-)
yeah u can
