24 hours since internal pip and no progress??

[MyParadiseFalls]

My gosling internally pipped over 24 hrs ago and has made zero progress( not even an external pip). How long should I wait before stepping in? I don’t want to help if I don’t have to.

Anybody??

I don't have any experience with goslings, but with ducklings it is normal to take a long time after internal to external pip, even 2 days, so goslings may be similar. Hopefully someone can help you who has specifically hatched goslings. But 24 hours doesn't sound too long yet to me.

Report back tomorrow evening.
Don't do anything before you report back.


Just wait.

Sooo I woke up and saw that all the veins had receded and that he was shrink wrapped, the membrane was totally hard around him. I slowly chipped away tiny pieces of shell and ended up with this beautiful baby

Pure brown Chinese, we raise for egg production.

Unfortunately I lost the other two goslings that I was incubating with him early on. He will be one seriously imprinted lone baby, I expected him to die as well so he’ll be in the house next couple of days before I can get the brooder outside set up again.
