Help !!! hatching goose egg !!

[RIR0BCM]

the gosling made an ex.pip !!!!

how long will it take for it to hatch ?
the membrane looks a bit yellow is that fine ?

I would candle as long as there is no ext. pips.... you can get away with it, they wont shrink wrap until after they ext. pip. if you have any that are not alive then you need to get them out of there. Good Luck!!

hatching takes 24 to 48 hours... a bit yellow around the edge is normal... humidity should be about 70% now... GOOD LUCK!

Can you bump it up to 70% looking forward to seeing a baby .

It wont go above 68 i added hot water but when the water cools humidity goes down...

Hows the gosling doing? still making progress? I don't use incubators so I am at a loss to help but hopefully psue will be checking back reg. I guess for now just leave it alone because everytime you open the bator you lose humidity too.

Then just leave it... better to have a steady % then opening the bator. and Lydia is right... I'll check in more with hatching going on
