So exciting to hear.. how's the little one doing?update! little goose is doing REALLY WELL. I was checking him around every hour and half through the night, and at around four am i just thought time to start helping it's been too long. It had been over 48 hours since internal pip and 24 since making the hole and i was having such a hard time making the decision i just went with my gut and peeled away the shell right near his face. his foot seemed to be way more forward than it should have been, it actually split the inner membrane as soon as i got the shell out of the way, so i think maybe it was preventing him from turning at all. the veins were pretty small, definitely receding, but i could still see a few, so i stopped there and decided to continue when i woke up for real. checked at 6, still the same. checked around 8, and he'd pushed most of his body through this little hole (i think the foot that was positioned bad for turning was position just right for getting him out of the egg too soon). i dont think ive ever seen a baby trying so hard to get out, but i could see the yolk wasnt quite done absorbing. I put him back in his little container and covered up the parrot (juno, my little parrotlet, has been talking to him nonstop since yesterday, it's adorable) and i got him to stay in there for about two more hours. five minutes ago i hear a bunch of rocking and a thud and out he is! everything looks really good. he has a bit of a distended belly, but nothing like the yolk sac i was afraid i would have to be dealing with. i'll take some pics once he's fluffed up a little!
