Hi, everyone! Happy 4th! I'm back with Another goose question. My babies will be 10 weeks old tomorrow, and I've noticed for about 3 days now that they are losing SO MANY FEATHERS. They look/feel more like their down feathers. Is this normal? It's all of them. They flap their wings and run full speed to "practice" flying and its just a cloud of feathers. I just changed their water and 645 this morning, it's now 8:49 and they just climbed out of the water bowl and it's full of them, our pond also has feathers everywhere. Is this molting? It's only this same type of feathers everywhere. I can kinda see some "fluff" poking out through their adult wing feathers that look like what I'm seeing all over the ground. I noticed more than ever this morning when they got out of their coop. New to this goose momma stuff! Thanks everyone!
EDIT: I also just watched them pulling some of those feathers from each other. A couple stragglers were popping through and they were pulling them from each other while they were drinking water from their new water, which is now covered in feathers again 20 minutes after changing for the 3rd time this morning. I feel like I have toddlers! Lol
