I got my first goose egg 1 month ago. I found it wet and near the water dish, but I rinsed it off, dried it, and put it in the incubator. It was the only egg in the incubator at that time. A week later I added a bunch of chicken eggs as well as 5 more Sebastopol goose eggs. At day 9, I realized that the embryo wasn't developing and that there was something wrong. I opened up the egg to find it rotting. The contents were liquid, it smelled horribly, and there was a moldy/fungus like growth inside the air cell and covering the inner membrane where the egg contents were.
I figured that it was because of where I found the egg (covered in wet food and hay by the watering dish) but now my worries are back. I candled my eggs like I do every night, and I noticed that one of my chicken embryos had died. Normally I would leave it in for a few more days, but this egg was suspicious.
I opened it up and I was met with bubbles. Lots of fowl smelling bubbles. I've never seen anything like it before. I dumped the contents and I looked at the embryo. It must have died sometime this morning. I looked into the shell and it had those same moldly/fungus like growths and this egg was on the opposite side of the incubator! I really hope it's not spreading. I can't afford to lose those goose eggs...
Any advice?
