He hasn't turned to where I can see his bill, so he probably isn't..

If someone says, "Don't do that! You wasn't raised in a barn!" I can honestly say, "I was too raised in a barn!"

Goosed, usually when the external pipping process is in gear (everything about waterfowl is a process).... the egg will vibrate hard side to side for an extended period, followed by a sharp jerk motion and you can hear the tap of beak on shell.  Often, the baby will also go "squeak squeak squeak" right afterward.



I saw it move! It was just for a short time and I haven't seen it again. But then again I'm not sitting and looking in the bator constantly either, so who knows! In just a  bit I'm going to go and watch it for a while to see if theres any more movement.

If you look at the back egg in this picture... you can see the beak and nares.  That is the location where it seems like it is in your picture.

Hey all

Ok I am not always the most PC or known for sugar coating anything around here, so keep that in mind when I post about helping eggs.

Helping never ever implies opening up a large hole quickly. Helping relies on you going at the same rate in which the gosling will hatch. Helping takes 3-4 days.

Ok with that out of the way.

There is way too much blood in that picture. It needs to gotten under control. Clean gauze, light pressure applied and also cleaning it away from what appears to be the nares in the center of the picture of the egg. If the egg is open, the membrane is open and the nares are free to breath the gosling won't make it. Once you open that far you have to make sure they are getting air. Anytime you work it should be small steps, but now you need to be focused on stopping the bleeding and getting air to the gosling.

Ok, so what I need to do is, use gauze to clean the blood away? I did a further inspection and the yolk hasn't been absorbed yet also.

Yes... VERY gently and carefully!!  Use gauze ... or qtips (not as sterile, but easier to work with).... dampened with warm water.   Get humidity to 80% and do not let temps drop from where you have them.

 

ETA:  do not disturb any membrane or remove any more shell!

Ok, I'm doing just that, and there is still a thin layer of membrane covering the whole body of the gosling

Leave the membrane alone!!  Just clean up the blood and take a new pic.

If the inner membrane is still intact that gosling is going to suffocate. It's just that simple. If it doesn't bleed out first, it will die from lack of air. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it is very tiring to see so many time and time again "helping" but not really knowing what to do. It seems every time someone helps recently, it is by doing too much and not understanding the resting periods needed.
