Goose egg oozing yellow and white but hear scratching from inside the egg

[Sylvie k]

Ok so here is my story:
I found an egg in my mom's garden... It was buried in the dirt pile. I took it in and incubated it and tried to candle it but the egg was too thick or the light wasn't strong enough (I used a very bright light bulb) and left it there for a couple hours and it was very heavy... When I heard scratching from inside the egg and I freaked because there was very little chance of it living.
Then 30 mins or so later after it scratched it started oozing yellow. It continued doing that throughout the night. Now I checked and it's now oozing yellow and white. I need help!!! This is my first time.

Are you sure it's a bird egg? I can't really really how big it is from the picture, can you put something like a quarter or soda can in the picture too? Is the shell hard or more leathery? Is the fluid oozing through the shell from cracks or just oozing through the shell?

Are you using an incubator? The scratching could probably just be bacteria building up under the shell of the egg, since you said it was oozing. Do you have a picture of what it looks like oozing? Also please answer all of @Sierra G ’s questions too.

Yes it's a bird egg and also the shell is leathery and the fluid is oozing from both cracks and the shell so...

Wait wdym the scratching is the bacteria building up inside the egg...? And how can that make a sound?

If it's leathery it's probably a reptile egg. Maybe turtle, maybe snake. Geese don't bury their eggs like reptiles do.

Whatever it is I'd put it back and let it hatch on its own if it's going to.

Pressure building up in the egg can make the edges of cracks rub together.

Oh...that sucks.
