Our geese, ducks and hens all free range and spend most of the time in the same areas. The geese don't bother the hens. The ducks are quite aggressive towards the geese however and are definitely in charge.

Our geese rule the world and even the dog.  They should all live happily more or less but I'd wait until the geese are quite big, they're still infants inside, unconfident, and tend not to get bossy until at least a year old.  ;)

Thanks for all the advice, OH is happy to make up a shelter and i'll keep them apart from the hens, at least in the beginning.  I've pinged a couple of breeders - will post pics when they arrive :-)
