We are moving countries and because we live in an avian flu area, we cannot bring our flock (1 goose, 1 gander, 1 drake, and 1 duck) with us. We've found a new home for them with a friend who also has a goose and a gander. All of the geese and ducks are about 4 years old.
Our gander is very non-aggressive (doesn't mate with our female and when we had a Muscovy drake he let the Muscovy be in charge) so we thought it would be easy to integrate them with our friends' more aggressive gander and friendly female.
We dropped them off the other day and our friend's female goose went straight for our flock and has been hanging out with them every since, all five of them are spending all their time together. But our friend's gander is not happy and has been wandering around the garden alone and seems very left out.
Is this likely to change? Our friend is worried that his gander is going to be unhappy forever, but it's only been two days.
