Help, my goslings think I am a predator.

[Pgw]

I am a new goose mama now for 3 days and have this concern.
I built a brooder about 2x4 ft. I have a hinged top. I read an article from an experienced owner about brooders and how her chicks and goslings were always terrified when she approached them from above AS A PREDATOR WOULD. She changed how she would brood. She set up her brooder outside in her run sectioned off from her other birds, but they could see and interact with each other. This is so true. My poor babies get so upset when I try to change their bedding and food etc. I first took them out but that was worse. Now I just leave them inside and work around them talking softly. I want them to emprint but am worried they won't because they are terrified.
If anyone has advice or ideas it's appreciated! I plan to take them outside when weather is nice for short periods and sit with them in an enclosed area. Hopefully that will help with bonding. The convenience of having them in the house is nice and I know they are safe. I guess my only option is to redo my opening and make one in the front of the brooder.

You don't want them to imprint on you and they likely won't since there's more than one.
Make the brooder so they can see coming.

Spend a lot of time with them, spread a sheet out and sit with them for long periods in the house, talk to them softly. The more time they have with you the more they’ll see you as mom, and it’s much better to be “mom” in the future when hormones are raging than “not mom” who they’ll probably see as a rival/nuisance.
Geese respond best with just giving them your time.
