I am fairly new to chickens and I have been watching my 2 hens goose each other and even my rooster and vice versa. Is this normal
 
what do you mean by goosing? Are they pecking at each other? pulling feathers? If so, it is normal, but you'll want to keep an eye on them. They could be bored, need more protein or even more space...
 
It's normal. Mine will do that to make another chicken get out of the way. Pecking order games for the most part, though if they are actually pulling out feathers to eat that's usually considered a (lack of) protein issue.
