Introducing gosling to gosling

So we have a gosling about two weeks old and finally found another gosling companion. I'm finding a lot on how to introduce them to adults but not each other. Any ideas? Right now I'm straddling a baby gate so that they're separate but neither feels alone.
 
Usually they should be fine introducing to each other immediatly at that age. I've seen posts of people putting 2wk old goslings with newly hatched ones that got along just fine even with the huge size difference. You can honestly probably just stick them together and see how they react and make sure they don't bully each other.
 
The new one is a week younger and seems to have been brutalized by her sibling goslings, perhaps she was the runt? Anyways, she reacts MAJORLY negatively toward any dominance displayed by the older one. We finally had them both relax being held and snuggled them together while keeping the older one's nippy head occupied/blocked. Now they're penned together with only occasional issues. Hopefully in a few days, they'll be completely acclimated. Thanks for the reassurance to just keep them together!
 
They like to fight over who gets my lap. XD
