Egg is hatching--now what?

[BrandySC]

My solitary Chinese goose egg is pipping. Now what? Mama is still on the nest she built in the back of my chicken coop. Once this hatches will I need to move them to isolation? I have a mobile tractor I can put them in to keep them on grass, but I can't move it if she's going to build another nest. Will she do that? I did not expect her egg to be fertile, now I'm a nervous wreck. Should I just move them into the house once it's hatched? We have a major predator problem here so I'm scared for mom and baby. Thank you.

I would move them . I think it would take two people though if you can get a helper. First I would get the gander away.. then I would pick up the mama and have someone else pick up the baby and bring them inside.
