alright guys, i need a little advice. Today i spotted what looked like a wet spot on a gosling, one of the bought ones. now all 3 bought goslings have the same wet spot in the same place. they seem to be trying to clean it with their beaks consistently, even to one another. Could this be some kind of parasite? Any advice?

hmm, i checked them all out, and it seems to be only the older three indeed. The skin is not irritated and the feathers dont seem to have been plucked. Also no signs of parasites crawling around. Maybe they are just learning to wash themselves with water? i will still keep an eye on them and see if it gets any worse/Sky starts showing it too.
