Any fresh oregano? Even dry -- spice cabinet! That is helpful, has anti bacterial and anti inflammatory values. With dousing for the mites and eating that it may clear. You would know in just a few days of use.

I made some for the ear mits using apple cider vinegar, following oils grape seed oil, apricot oil, sunflower oil and a few others its natural baby oil that has al those oils in it and frankincense oil I have

I used mineral oil, applied with an eye dropper. I did a monthly application as a preventative. If there was a case of ear mites, they got daily treatment until the crusty crud was gone. I also cleaned the softened crud out with Qtips.

Castor oil would be good. It helps with scaly leg mites by smothering them but it is also antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal. Gets rid of warts too, though it takes time

My mom's two favorite remedies when I was a kid were castor oil (topically)
and ACV (internal and topical). Those two really do cover quite a lot of problems.

You are always busier than a 3 legged cat in a sand box. Been missing you and glad you stopped in.

Sounds like things are "normally busy"..... Glad that the business is doing well, and that they are busy even though it is hard for everyone with the separation.
One tip for cooking the goose.....Cook it on a rack so the fat/grease drips into the pan below the goose. I cooked one for my new in-laws all those years ago.....for Thanksgiving...... BRAVE or STUPID.... but a friend told me about putting it up on a rack to cook and it was a GOD send.... It came out PERFECT..... good flavor.... not greasy...... slow roasting.
