2 new goslings hatched a few days ago and they were so sweet to each other, now one is constantly digging into it's sibling's back/neck and made an injury by chewing out the down.

I have gauze on it now (with foam neosporin, but the sibling got a little in its mouth) which detered as far as I could see but then it went for another spot. I'll get BlueKote or Udder Balm tomorrow for the wound but this is the first I experienced it after raising 3 others (2 month olds). They have toys (with feathers that they ate) and food and everything.

I'm not sure if they're too hot? It's in the 90s but 70s in the house with the A/C. I'll be giving them a bigger box tomorrow for the brooder too. They're also nippy in general and aggressive
