    hatching geese eggs

    Gosling is 2 weeks old now but he seems to have a very itchy spot on his back. He is constantly preening it and has pulled out most of the fluff, it looks a little dry and flaky too. Any suggestions on what to put on it to soothe it bearing in mind it will probably be ingested? Thanks.

    Yes, it's an Rcom Suro. I love it. Or should i say I love them as I bought a second one last month. The only issue I have found is that the fan needs changing out every second or third hatch but you can get them pretty cheaply and it's worth it for peace of mind. I use a Brinsea Spot...

    Quote: It pipped internally sometime yesterday. I can only candle at night when it gets dark as I have no blinds in my incubation room so it was only obvious to me last night when I candled.
