If it looks like leather it´s too dry. Keep it really damp.Thanks. I will make sure it doesn't dry out. I put a few drops of water on it after seeing the dot of blood. I figured with it still having blood to it and it looking like leather that maybe the gosling was shrink wrapped. I really don't know. I know this is all iffy for this little gosling but I wanted to give it the best chance I can. There is no way of knowing till its hatched. I do wonder why its so delayed though. Hopefully its going to be okay.
