IIA little while ago I started fostering 3, then 11 Egyptian Geese of about a day and a week old. (I've been writing about them on the Goose Thread where Miss Lydia and Carrosaur have been helping.) Then I got a little yellow billed duck which is about 3 weeks old. The older goslings were biting the duckling and pulling at his feathers so he had to be separated, which made him very lonely. So, I put 3 of the smaller goslings with him for company and they seemed pretty okay, unless the one lot of goslings heard the others and then they just kept crying.
So each night after the goslings have gone to bed, I've been sneaking the duckling into their nest and they wake up next to him and see he's no threat. Finally they seemed to have accepted him
I still supervise during the day, but no incidents and if they do nibble at him he just nibbles back and its over.
BEFORE....
AFTER - spot the Duckling...

No more bars!
