Is this normal gosling behavior

[starrymutt]

My 4-5 week old that imprinted on me or bonded with me pretty strongly now runs from me when with the other goslings. I had them out grazing this morning but had to put them back in the brooder [how long is it okay to keep them in there per day?] since I had stuff to do.

They all cried for me and still are periodically, but then snuggled up to the stuffed animal I have for them under the heat lamp.

Is it normal for her to run away and not be held anymore at this age? She's definitely not as snuggly since getting siblings. How can I make her stop crying?

Mine are out with my adults at that age. Mine are 4 weeks tomorrow. Mine didn't want extra heat after the first few weeks and would sit far away from it so I shut it off, and one of my adult females took them and out they went.

It is normal for them to be a bit fearful at a young age. When they matures they should be more relaxed.
