gosling pulling siblings new feathers

[rosehower]

Please help, i have 2 goslings, still young. like 2 weeks max. the feathers are coming in on one faster than the other. the more fuzzy of the 2 is now biting and ripping out the new feathers on her sister.
Clover came with splayed leg, and was repaired, and she was the more calm docile one. She has always been smaller. not by a ton.
Lady is her larger sister, who’s getting feathers sooner. always been the more bold.
But Clover has been biting.
Today I removed them from the brooder for some outside time, it’s lovely outside here. i thought the space would help.
Well i took a break from sitting in with them to go eat lunch. and i hear lady screaming again. and now i’m seeing her wings on both sides are ruined. poor girl

Can i use BlueKote or something to help heal her?

How can i stop this behavior?

Try the blue kote. I sure keeps chickens from pecking at wounds etc. Def worth a try. What do you have in the brooder to break boredom? My goslings loved mealworms[not all do] but I bought a chicken toy that you fill with a treat and then lay it on the floor they will roll it around to get out the mealworms. My goslings and ducklings loved it. Getting them outside to burn off energy will help too. if temps cooperate.

right now their brooder inside is just for night time and poor weather days. last year i had a pair and it was the same brooder set up, they never had any issues. and that was a gander goose pair

this is 2 geese. from a hatchery.
they’re were fine until this morning.
When they’re outside it’s still happening. I had to go inside to eat lunch, and that’s all it took for all those little feather starts to be pulled out.

i’ve just gotten blue kote.
i called theirs hatchery. they can’t give out veterinary advice but said to separate through a single fence so they can be near but not have access to one another.

i tried watermelon the other day and they kindof liked it.
there’s 4 polish chickens in the big outdoor thing they’re in, and they’re not with them. it’s like she sees the spot and just has to get at it. idk.
I also tried black soldier flies (dried, flock party fly fiesta) and neither cared to try them.
I’ve given them romaine before. but i’ve run out today.

This is what Lady looks like now.

 

[rosehower]

see her after the spray before she went swimming, and after she went swimming.

 

[rosehower]

Clover has a purple bill from nibbling twice since i’ve been home after the spray and me moving the fence that kept them apart while i went to get my kids from school.

 

[rosehower]

now they’re both under me, under the chair i’m sitting in, Clover is eating my pants and shoes. and Lady is eating grass. this is the strangest thing

I'd take the advice and place a barrier between them when inside . I did this with my Runner ducklings that were 2 weeks apart in age so the bigger ones wouldn't tromp on or pick at the little ones. We have to do what we have to do, and it isn't uncommon for this to happen we also see it with ducklings.
