That first one doesn’t look good @Jenbirdee did you put the other one back?

i put both back but i think you’re right the first one looks bad , hopefully the second one will hatch,
i guessi should get the bad one out next time she gets off nest

Goodness I’m not sure from the looks of it :^( I’d say maybe leave it with her for a bit and not rotate it, if you can’t see any fluid knocking about and there’s no bad smell then it could be ok? I‘ve never candled an egg later than day 20 or so I’m not sure.

yeah at day 23 i saw movement but i know a lot of them don’t make it through the 4th week
she is still sitting on it today because I read that pilgrim goose eggs can hatch anywhere anywhere between day 28 and day 34. the first egg hatched on the 29th day today today is day 32. I just don’t want to get rid of the egg if there’s any chance it might hatch, but I also would like to relieve Trudy of her stressful time of brooding before her health is damaged

 

[AGeese]

I've never incubated so can't be of much help there. Pretty sure mine hatched around 30 days.

@Finnie @OldSchoolSarge what do you think should i let her keep sitting another day or 2? @Pyxis
