It looks like bruising to me, like the duckling might have nicked a vein when internally pipping so there was some bleeding. Hopefully it's fine in there.

Can you post a picture? Could be some bleeding from the internal pip.

Looking good!

Great! Sounds like things are coming along quickly!

This is a chicken that is internally pipped, not a goose, but it will look very similar. You will see a moving shadow in the air cell that's fairly triangular in shape, and that's the beak. Have you read Pete's incubating and hatching guide for geese? It's a very great resource and walks you...

That's a good range :) I think the air cell looks good, were you weighing to track the moisture loss?

Excellent! You should have a gosling in a couple days :) Make sure you boost up the humidity now.

Lockdown for goose eggs will actually vary from egg to egg. Larger eggs tend to take longer to hatch. What I do is watch for dip down, when the air cell starts coming down the side of the egg, as that signals that the gosling is preparing to internally pip, and that's when I lock down. But, you...
