Gosling shedding feather... should i be concerned?

[sk990]

My 11 wk old goslings are losing soooooooooooooo much feather these days, got their down/feather flying all over the yard, is that normal? I did switch them off to a less protein feed about a week ago, could that be the cause? Thank you!

I think they are just molting.

It's 100% normal.

Whew! What a relief!Had to admit that I was pretty worried.
I didn't know goslings molt too... they're still babies, and literally just got their feather... well, You learn something new everyday!
Thank you Bock
