I've got a pair of Pilgrim goslings, who just turned 5 weeks old. The female is really pulling at the feathers of the male, which he understandably doesn't like. She's pulled several feathers off his flanks, but this morning I found blood on one of his wings where the flight feathers are still growing.
They have plenty of space for just two goslings. I've added toys to stimulate more productive behavior. If it continues, am I headed to having to keep them separated permanently? She's fairly sweet towards me and my family (sometimes a little nippy with clothing). Looking for any other tips or advice I haven't already read online.
