One Sebastopol gosling egg is VERY narrow. Its pointy end is pointy. Considering that the female is barely a year old, should I remove that egg??? I've never had to cull a chick and am concerned that the gosling that grows in the narrow shell might not develop properly. Does anyone have any insight or success in this type of situation, hatching a chick/duck/goose out of a narrow egg???
 
The egg at at the top is the ? egg. Below it is a normal egg. The second picture is a side view...

The one in the photo ended up quitting right at two weeks of incubation. The veins disappeared and only a slushy blob remained.

So, problem worked itself out.

Strangely, the other 6 that I set with it also quit around the same time.

If the little one does make it, it might need a bit of help hatching...

Good luck!
