The last gosling is really small form the start, is there anything different I should do? We made a second box with heat,food and water for it and put the other small gosling that hatched 2 days ago, with it. Couldn't put it with the first hatched because they are huge and keep walking all over...

Never have had any problems with McMurray and only lost a few chicks because the post office was 30 below zero.. the post office gets them late night early morning and the chicks sit in what ever temperature is there.
