    Is this medicated feed?

    I was given this turkey starter for free. They told me that it’s medicated feed but I looked all over and it looks like normal feed. Does anyone know this brand of turkey starter? Is it medicated or non medicated? Also will I need to add niacin in the turkey starter for goslings?

    Sticky yellow goo coming from eggs

    I am incubating goose eggs and I find sticky goo that smells coming from egg shell. The texture feels like sap. I cleaned it off then put the egg back in incubator. Then later the sticky substance forms back on the egg. Anyone knows what this is? FYI this is only happening to one egg.
