Absolutely not. Age has allot to do with it. I look at it this way the babies are just practicing this year and the ones that dont make it the whole way would probably not have been strong and healthy. Next year your going to go out and pick up there 3rd or 4th egg they laid and be amazed at how much bigger, smother and feel the bloom on it. In fact your late season eggs will be bigger also. When you deep candle this years eggs you will see some grainy ones, some with little pits, some with little spots that look like water spot, Some eggs will have a rough feal to the shell Some will be a little off shaped. Double yolks are common in first year also. They drop 2 yolks before they had time to produce enough calcium and then struggle to push it all the way through. Its natures way of tweaking them.
I have put every one this year through the incubator manly to check to see if my boys are getting it. My best confirmation boy has been put with MaMa who is my most fertile girl there is and not one of her 14 plus eggs have been fertile its ok though she is a production goose and I really dont want to hatch her babies. She is such a great mom so when she goes broody I will give her eggs from the other girls.
From the new 4 new I so far have only got one to internal pip and zip. My older girl Precious I now have 3 and 2 more are zipping right now. and 9 more are at all different stages doing great.
Keep hatching you will get a few this year and be a pro next year. Its funny every year I reread the artical in this forum (goose hatch complete) over and over again.
There is another good checklist pdf from the university of California https://anrcatalog.ucanr.edu/pdf/8127.pdf
