Gosling Bully maybe

[Shadowlynx]

I have 2 goslings they are 2 weeks old, I noticed that the larger of the two is pecking and bitting the others tail feather area. So now my poor baby has a bald spot on his butt. And a small spot on his back. Is this nor,al gosling behavior? They came from the same farm hatched the same day. They are in a brooder tote 4 feet long by 1 1/2 feet wide. They get out to play every day and go outside weather permitting. I also bring them fresh gass on cooler days. Thank you in advance for any help,

They need more space on a full time basis. The behavior you describe is generally a result of overcrowding and boredom.

I'm guessing bored. I will try and get them out more as well as some sort of toys. Tomorrow is gonna be nice so I'll set up the puppy play pen. Thank you

I have 3 goslings and 2 ducklings, I noticed that the goslings would gang up on the ducks when they are in the brooder so I try to put them outside in the grass as much as possible and at night ill give them a big bowl of grass and other plants I find in my yard so they have something to chew on during the night.
