Gosling won't stop chewing on brothers butt! Urgent!

[TheGooseLord]

I hatched 3 goslings, all a week apart and the mid one keeps chewing on the oldest's butt until it bleeds. I've seperated them for now but i gave them, grass, toys to play with yet he won't stop chewing on his butt. Help!

Try dying it's butt blue with some plain old food dye?

Do you have pictures of the area?

The rump doesn't look too bad. But coloring that spot may help.

Get some BluKote. It will help prevent infection, promotes healing, and turns the affected area blue which makes it less attractive for pickers.
