If they are set to hatch in a day or two I would definitely stop turning the eggs. The chicks need to position themselves to hatch and turning makes that much harder (at least for chicken eggs).
 
I think so too im gonna stop turning it and ill update once im home thanks !!!
 
Day 31 still no pip should i be worried ? Humidity is 50% and temp is 37.5
Please help !!!!
 
update :
its day 35 for the goose egg and there is still no pip
so i decided to make a little hole in the air cell to see if the gosling needs help
to my surprise the gosling is still alive and there are still veins in the membrane so i returned it to the incubator


its my first time hatching goose eggs i read that goose eggs take 28-35 days to hatch and mine is already 35 days with no pip so i thought it may need assisting i also read that if they are still alive they can get stuck to the shell or die or drown unless they are helped out ...

do you think the gosling will make it ?
i didn't rupture the membrane only the air cell
