if you can put a couple things in there that they can hide behind so they don’t always all see each other that may help. i use everything but the kitchen sink lol big pots with bushes in them , chairs, tables, toddler play equipment, etc

I actually have a tote with a hole in it that acts as a “nesting box/house” for now until their house comes in next week, I’ve planted some bushes and plants too. I bring them in at night and that’s when it mostly happens. Will it stop and she grow out of it?

hey also may i add the adults need hardware cloth protection on the coop too… not just the babies..

I’m still working on the hardware cloth around the enclosure

probably , but you have to watch she doesn’t hurt your Gosling for now. You may have to separate them if you see any injuries. Normally, when introducing new birds to each other, there is a period of time where they get to know each other through a fence, so you can just do that now. You were lucky that the others just automatically got along. It doesn’t always happen. just put a divider in the run. Once they start to lay down next to each other on opposite sides of the fence, you know it’s OK to let them together.
