I don't spray. Some folks do, its a personal choice. Several members have already stated their opinions on your question. Please read the thread and the links other folks have given you.

Yes, work from outside the lowest point of swelling. Gently work away from the healthy tissue, towards the opening. If its not helping in a day or so please seek out a vet if you can, I really hope your gander improves. I would be so sick with worry. Although we are a working farm I adore my geese,they are my babies.

I will do it this afternoon. Do you think a old towel with tape around it would work for a bandage? And should I do both feet right away, or one at at time for less stress on him?

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

I never said spray during lockdown?
Ok let's make this simple: start to spray the eggs at day 9 and spray every other day and stop spraying at day 28 (lockdown).
You don't spray or turn the eggs after day 28

What color will a Brown Chinese gander/White Chinese goose give me?

You can also get brown geese with white bellies.
Or just a white stripe along the belly.

Fox did kill a lot but I meant he did kill half the flock and all the goslings.
