Geese & chooks living together?

Hi all,

my hen run is becomming overrun with nettles as the chooks don't eat them but I heard that geese love nettles so the obvious sprang to mind...

I have a large shed where the chickens live and could accommodate a couple of geese in there includin providing a larger pop hole but I have no experience of them and their needs...   More reading up needed I feel!


Will geese and chickens live together happilly?  What should I know? (eg I understand that you can't keep chooks and turkeys because of some pathogen between them)  How much should I pay for 2 young geese if I do go ahead?

sorry for all the q's but I'd rather do this organically than reach for the roundup

  Oh.  maybe not a good idea then  :blink:

wasn't planning on any boys just yet; haven't even started breeding chooks yet.

One of the allotment holders does have a few geese on his plot but it's bare (presumably because the geese have picked it clean!)

I wonder if he would loan me them for a few days so I can see how they all get along... after all if they don't then I can give them straight back!
