    Goslings and Niacin

    Hi! Do you supplement Niacin to your goslings? I'm new to geese and the breeder told me they didn't give it to their goslings, but I'm not too sure if I should give them supplements or not given I always gave Nutritional Yeast to my ducklings up until at least 8 week old. Thanks :)

    Chickcozy incubator

    Okay, so I'll get my duck eggs this week, and I have the Chickcozy incubator (which I really, really love, but it incubates the eggs vertically intrays). I read that incubating duck eggs vertically was not the best and some had pretty bad hatch rate in comparison to hatching on their side...

    Selling duck eggs - Price?

    Hello fellow duck lovers! I am thinking of selling duck eggs to my neighbours, but I hesitate on the price I should sell them. Any thought? I thought about something like $5 for 6 eggs or $8 for a dozen (I am in Canadian dollars), but no idea if that would be too high.
