Hands on hatching and help

[BelovedBirds]

I have a goose that should hatch around day 29. It's day 28 and I can see the gosling moving inside the egg, but the air cell is not growing like it should and it's not shadowing. All of its other hatchmates have shadowed and internally pipped by now and externally pipped. I'm fairly certain it's malpositioned, but I can't find a bruise or anything in the pointy end to even try to help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? Or should I give it overnight? I figure if I don't start doing something soon it's going to die regardless and maybe, just maybe I can help this baby, but I definitely don't want to screw it up. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Any update?
I would have waited and kept an eye out for bruising. Its very possible that the egg has just developed a little slower.

Thanks! I actually went on to determine that I actually set that egg 4 days later with another one laid on the 4th. I had wrote the date it was laid, not the date it was set The gosling is now currently chomping and absorbing is yolk and preparing to hatch!

Edit: I waited and gave it more time and it hatched all on its own


This chick has looked mostly like this since 7:50ish this morning (currently 8:42am) when I woke up. It’s coming out the end of the egg instead of the middle like all the others hatched. Would you intervene now or wait longer?

Whew, nevermind I sat on my hands and waited and it hatched all on its own!

I have a golden Comet chicken egg in the incubator and it has been in there for 22 days and all the other chicks have hatched. He is pipped in the wrong end and I opened up over the air cell and widened his pip. There is a little bit of veining still should I keep assisting or give him more time? He seems like he wants out. I will post some pictures in a minute.

Over the air cell

Where the pipp is

He might also be shrink wrapped? I put coconut oil on the membrane .

This is a call duck that pipped about 36 hours ago. I’m new to call ducks and everything I’ve read said they’d need help. I waited about 12 hours after the pip and I opened up space around its mouth so it wouldn’t suffocate. I accidentally made one of the blood vessels bleed, but it was minimal. I put it back in the incubator. Now it’s about another 24 hours after i made the hole. I put coconut oil on the membrane and put it back in the incubator. I was so worried about it not being able to hatch that I’m sure I over did it. Is it looking ok?

@My15Ducks might know?

I’ve never actually hatched Calls, just regular ducks, but it looks ok to me. If you could moisten the membrane and then get a better lit photo that would be great. What I look for at this point is blood vessels and how big they are. Do you see any on that membrane? I can’t, but the picture might be too dark

I circled the areas that look to me like blood vessels.
