So, we have two little hatched geese that might need some extra help, one of them was in the first pipped egg, it's very weak, has trouble standing, and sometimes trembles a little. He was inside his egg for a long time before I was able to gently help him out but it's been 24 hours since...

Good news is the hatched goose is doing better, the membrane stuck to it had hardened pretty bad into a "shell" if sorts but the warm water dip idea worked great to get it cleaned up and it's moving around a lot more. The pipped egg is looking about the same, peeking inside it I can't see much...

Quick update, the surviving two eggs still have movement but no more progress on pipping or zipping. The hatched one has a bit more energy stumbling around, but s/he has a hardened "chunk" of what looks like membrane (the wishbone shape in the picture by my fingertip, and yes I normally keep my...

Thank you, any suggestions for the remaining eggs? The membrane around the bill of the one that didn't make it was as tough as leather, so I'm assuming that's part of why I'd couldn't continue to unzip itself from its egg, I just don't want that to happen to the last two.

I did my best to be careful to stay away from any blood vessels in the membrane, I'm just concerned that everything seems so "sticky dry" compared to our duck eggs. We just had a small batch of Anconas that took three days to fully finish hatching and they seemed much more active than this and...

The hatched one came out about 4 or 5 hours ago now completely unassisted. The one in the picture in my original post sadly stopped breathing, there's one more egg that's pipped but hasn't made progress since yesterday afternoon, and one more egg with movement but no external pipping and the...

I have a few goose eggs incubating and they started pipping yesterday morning. One of them opened up their shell by about a half inch by one inch "window" then stopped, another one pipped a little bit and another hatched already. There's a fourth egg with movement inside it but no external...

We just hatched some ducklings a few days ago from eggs in our incubator, it's been over a decade since I last raised ducks and I'm concerned about something stuck to the vent of the runt of the litter. It doesn't seem like regular feces, it looks darker and doesn't dissolve with a paper towel...
