Pollard; IIRC Some people keep a few geese with their chicken to chase the Hawks off. (Diana might know more.)

I don’t do it, but I remember my Aunt Alice keeping chickens and geese together in the fenced area for them. I don’t remember if they all bunked together at night, though.

I DO remember a goose biting my sister...and she still remembers it to this day! Our Moms would ship all of us Cousins off to Alice for the summer once school was out. Cheap farm labor - but I learned a LOT from Alice. She’s nearing 90, still living in her log cabin and still going strong. She’s always lived a, ‘Tasha Tudor’ kind of life. I’m still striving for that, but I need a Corgi dog by my side. ;)

Anyhow, THIS guy says Chickens and Geese can be raised together:
