I am a retired school teacher with ducks, geese, and chickens.

I joined to mine the forum for tips and solutions to problems.
Today I have a goose that is down. Her mate has kept her from the feed bin and has de-feathered her back and broken wing feathers. She's been in a coop for 4 days; eating and drinking, but doesn't want to stand. Should I consider putting the gander in a coop and letting her out to swim half acre pond with ducks? Advice?

Hi, I've never raised geese, but if you post on this forum you should get some advice: Geese forum

Good luck!

Hello & Welcome To BYC!! I don't know anything about geese, but if they were chickens I would separate them to prevent any future harm to the one being bullied

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I would pen the gander separately for a while to give her a chance to recover.
