Worried.. momma goose losing feathers

[Sandwilly12]

My 1 yr old momma goose who has a 2 week old gosling is losing feathers. At first I thought she was plucking them out but now I think they are just falling out on their own. Any one know why this could be happening? Is this normal?

It sounds as if she may be molting after the stress of brooding/setting. Is everything else normal with her?

Yes seems to be ok otherwise.. I was wondering if it might be something like that. Thanks for your input
