Hi, goose folks!
A local rescue group found a couple of stray geese. They tried to find their owners for a while now, but no luck. So they are up for adoption.
I am very interested in taking these two females. Here's a pic. The pic shows three, so I'm not 100% which two are up for adoption. But the group says they are very tame and friendly.
Three questions (for now):

Three questions (for now):
- Would they be ok free ranging? I have a lot of predators, but most are only active at night. The biggest threats during the day are foxes and Coopers hawks. I'd lock the geese up at night.
- Assuming they can free range, how do I set them up so that they don't just wander off again?
- Can I house them at night with my ducks and chickens, or would they be better off with their own house?
