I'd just put them in a smallish pen where your goats could see and hear them for a few days, then move them to their permanent home...just make sure the goats can't get into the chicken feed!

We just introduced 2 buff orpington hens and an array of 5 chicks...and a mallard duck! We had them in one of our unused birthing pens for a few days and then let them out. THeya re doing great! Although, my goats keep getting into the chick starter and I cant keep them from knocking over the dish! UGGG! I think they eat more chick started than the chicks!!!

I have a pekin duck in with my goats. The only problem is the feed. The goats are constantly trying to eat the duck food. I have to shut the goats in the barn to give the duck some time to eat her breakfast.
