I had a gosling hatch with my help because of shrink wrapping yesterday. I had another pip and I have been watching it, waiting for it to absorb the blood vessels so I could chip it out of the shell, too. Once I got a leg, wing and the head out I put it back in to get it's self out because not all the yolk was absorbed. And it's head is huge. It's like it's whole head (back of neck, head, around eyes, under beak) is full of squishy ick. I have never hatched anything like it... Not in the ducks or chicks and this is only my 2nd gosling.
What is this? I didn't think it would live because of it but I helped it over 12hrs ago and it's still alive. It lived in that shell for 2 days before I could help it. It did pip on the wrong end, too. It did not get it's self out of the shell. I had to finish helping it. Will it live and straighten out or ... no?
It's like squishy chick... in it's head.
