We have two goslings, about 5 days old now maybe.
White gosling (Siren) is constantly biting the other one (Medusa) in the face and beak. Which makes her peep real loud.

Is this behavior that will simmer down on its own? Or is it an issue?

They have electrolytes in their water right now and normal waterfowl starter food.

They do occasionally start pecking at each other. It can help to give them chopped up grass or put them out on the yard for a bit. Make sure the brooder isn't too warm. Goslings are very temperature hardy. Make sure they can get away from the heat source.
