Hi Rowly, glad everything is going well. The basic answer to your question is more room. If they have enough room, the larger Emdens should be OK. I would not handle the birds any more than necessary - the crud on the feathers will come off on its own. If the Geese start to get agressive, obviously you will have to separate them. I think you have a good chance of them getting along if they get more room now - they don't know they are different than each other yet!
