Chickens Raising Other Birds

Howdy!
While I have read many stories about domesticated birds raising other bird's chicks, I had never seen an example in Real Life.
I had been counseled, last year when my first broody hen revealed herself, to give her "something" to set, or there might be problems. I didn't believe that any bird would be willing to waste away trying to hatch 2 golf balls and an vaguely egg-shaped rock, but ...
You live; you learn; you move on.
Last year, my extremely family minded hen spent a good two months setting a nest. After the first few weeks, I did give her three eggs, and even though the chicks didn't survive the entire process, the hen proved herself to be a Good Broody.

This year (roughly 4 weeks ago), when that same hen went broody, I didn't want to give her chicken eggs, but was lucky enough to have goose eggs available. So I gave her two, which she hatched out, making me a 'grandma' to a very confused gosling. "Chickling" and Mom are doing well.

Does anyone else have any stories about one type of bird hatching, then raising another type of bird? I know all domesticate poultry,  according to what I've read, will hatch each other's eggs, but those are just stories. I've never actually seen it, nor talked with anyone who had done it.
If you have, or know someone who has, what happened after the new family joined the flock?
Would this be a great way to get a more chicken-centric goose, i.e. Guard Goose 2.0? Or will the young revert to their "truer nature"?

I had a broody hen that raised two ducklings. She didn't hatch them, but she easily accepted them (I stuck them under her at night). She was as proud as she could be of them. I remember the first day she finally took them outside. One of them spied a water dish, made a beeline for it, and dove right in! Needless to say, Mama Hen was very puzzled over that one! She cared for them until they were old enough to figure out they wanted to hang out with the other ducks.

We currently have one hen that hatched out is taking care of 3 ducklings and two turkey polts.  The babies are about 3 weeks old and doing well and the momma chicken is doing what she is supposed to do with the mixed hatchlings.  We have another chicken that has also been on some duck and turkey eggs.  We had 3 turkeys hatch the last two days, the duck eggs were unproductive.  The momma chicken is doing well with her 3 turkey polts.

What we found interesting, when we first started raising birds we bought chicks and polts and as the chicks were scratching the ground looking for food the turkey learned to scratch and peck as well.  We were told that turkeys wont usually scratch on their own so this was a learned trait they picked up being raised with chickens.

When we lived in Tucson, we had a hen turkey for several years with the chickens. Every spring she would lay eggs and try to brood...I had to build guards around the nest boxes so that she wouldn't smash all the chicken eggs trying to keep them warm. Since we didn't have a tom, I tried to have "the talk" with her but...you know turkeys.

One year, as she was mournfully sitting on some dirt clods in the corner of the chicken coop, my sister called to say that she had just had a hatch of chicks and the hen was MIA (probably a predator). There were more than she was prepared to keep indoors, so I agreed to take half a dozen. She brought them over that evening and we slipped them under Matilda.

The next morning, Ma Turkey was out in the yard trailing her surrogates. She was a superb mother, always keeping all the hens away from the feed trough so that her babies got first pick. Even when they were fully grown, she still looked after them and even let them perch on her back. In her view, they were obviously still poults. One or two of them remained attached to her for a good couple of years.

I have noticed that the gosling is dust bathing, and is lousy at scratching, though it does try. I also haven't had to fish it out of the water dish at all, which was something I had to do several times a day while brooding the geese.
That's an interesting thought. I wonder how far that "education in foraging" would go?
Thank you for giving me a longer term project!
