    Crested duck options

    Yes you have a suitable amount of hens to a drake ratio. There shouldn't be problems but if aggression is a factor then by almeans remove the drake. What consequence are you referring to?

    I've never used essential oils. I've used Vetricyn but that was with open wound. It wouldn't hurt them to try I guess..?

    Not bumblefoot? What else?

    It's bumble foot. It doesn't have to occur on the pad. Nor does the bump have a scab right away. Sometimes it's just forming. Keep soaking it for a few days to dry out the fluid inside .

    Dead chick

    Sometimes it the moisture .. If it's too high or too low. It depends on your area but if it's low then spray the eggs with room temp water and have the hen lay back On them. If it's too high then try gently cooling eggs then have hen lay on them.

    New goslings, many questions!

    The noise is contentment . Geese imprint very quickly when young. It's fine to imprint when you can spend all of your time with them like all of it!! But since your a student and that time may not be possible. Try to keep them someplace where they get to understand that they are geese and that...
