2017 Gosling Hatch a long!!
Mine often take a break or two during season Congrats!!! Personally I'd hatch them at the same time and give her the babies as soon as they have their feet under them OR bring all the babies in to brood and give them back to her when the temps are high enough to not worry about them. -

not unusual, should still be in the yolk though -
early death goose egg
It sounds like it. Candle again before tossing though. -
How about a Thread for Embdens?
I candle goose eggs often... and mine normally take 30 days in the homemade incubator I have. Upon candling you will see the gosling in the air cell area once it has internally piped.. lock down doesn't have to happen until then. -
How about a Thread for Embdens?
