Hi all,
I am a new to geese. I currently have 3 five week old embdens and 4 four week old Sebastopol goslings. The embdens have been a dream to look after but in the last day one of the Sebastopol goslings has started to pull feathers and draw blood. The embden and Sebs are currently separate due to their size difference. I separated the seb gosling this morning by dividing the brooder but he still tries to pick the others through the wire. I sprayed the other goslings wings and tails with blue spray. I was in the process of integrating the two groups but now I don’t know what to do. How can I stop him attacking the others? Should I move the one offending gosling in with the larger Embdens or would they kill him? Or leave him separated in the brooder? The Emdens are currently free ranging and the plan was to slowly integrate the Sebs so they could join them. Thanks in advance for any help or advice
