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:

Diana; Geese. My father had chickens and geese. The geese made a total mess of the lawn and they were always in your face. I was happy when he stopped raising them and I could walk around the place with clean shoes.

I think that hawks would have a hard time taking down a Drake, an eagle or golden eagle probably could.
