No way before lockdown you spray the eggs.
People use different tactics of spraying the eggs.
I spray mine at day nine and afterwards wet them every other day until day 28.

u just said no way spray before lockdown but then u said u do.?? Confused

Brown, but they will not have a solid chest, it will be bibbed with white. Some will also have orange leakage in the bills and knob. I have a White hen, and can always tell who the Daddies are lol.

Well sad news. I checked my ganders feet today, and I think he has bumblefoot in both feet. Its in the middle joint of the middle toe (I hope that makes sense) on both feet, which is weird. It's not very severe yet I don't think. It's a little bit swollen, and there is a black area about the size of a pea. What can I do for him? Going to the vet is really expensive, so I thought maybe I could do the surgery myself, but I have never done anything like that. Any and all advice would be appreciated, thanks. I will take pictures tomorrow.
