Both, the down is tangled in it but it's in the vent.

Does it look like it might be a little bit of dried poop? If so warm water to soften it to where it comes loose/out and the a nice gently warm towel drying. What ever you do DO NOT pull on it as you can seriously injure the bird.

Put some iodine on it and leave it alone. It will fall off its a piece of the yolk kind of like an umbilical cord. Ive seen it before on some of mine. They turned out fine.

The second picture is a brown thing hanging from one of the vents. What is it?

The brown thing hanging from that goslings vent is gone! I vent sexed them all, most of them were very very clearly boys, two or three I was unsure of, but so far it looks like 6 boys and 2 girls. I'll try again tomorrow or on Monday.

Candled my 6 goose eggs they are on day 4... All 6 are showing small embryos already. Maybe i will get a few goslings after all.
Still waiting on my 3 saxony/ancona ducklings to hatch, should be out by tomorrow.
Also set 20 more eggs from my ducks in the bator tonight. So all together there are 31 duck eggs and 6 goose eggs cooking. 11 are due in two weeks and the 6 Goose and 20 duck eggs are due May 21-23.
