gosling picking at each others butts

[monster1]

they are two weeks old. i noticed a few birds have the fuzz picked off their rumps. are they bored? not getting enough food? is there brooder too cramped up? any ideas?

 

[chickenbottom]

it depends on how much room they have and how many there are but space is likely

could be number of things lack of room or the temperature to warm in the brooder. Try giving them a couple of handfuls of grass to play with every day. My mother in law told me that and it works. It probably gives them something else to think about.
