Goslings and Heat Plates

[JDfromND]

Hello,
I'm looking to add 3 goslings to my chicken flock. Has anyone used a heat plate successfully with geese? I've read their heat requirements are slightly different than chicks but am wondering size wise, if I can be successful.

I use heat plates with ducklings, poults, and peafowl, so I guess you could use one for goslings, though I think they will outgrow it very quickly.
