Woke up a bator full of babies (3 sebs hatched out overnight) but the slowest egg died. (a little toulouse)

If anyone gets on, please tell me what you do to keep your babies (geese here) from flipping over in their enthusiasim?  I have to work 5 hours, and I don't want any to die upside down whille I can't watch them!

No doubt....Saanens are probably one of the heaviest milkers.  I sorta thought that when I looked at the picture, but I've also seen Alpines that color.  The one on the right is a more common color pattern for the Alpine.  Both of those girls look like they can fill a pail!
 

These are the ones you got from me off of Ebay right? They turned out great, Love that last ones chest markings
