help with goose egg!

[Miss Lydia]

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!

So exciting to hear.. how's the little one doing?

really well! still a small distended stomach but it's definitely healing nicely and getting smaller, and in between the napping there's a lot of moving around going on. I ended up having to pull my second thermometer out, the whole cord kept getting pulled inside, probably looked like and interesting bug!

So precious, good job saving it. Does it have a stuffed animal to cuddle with? and if you can get it a non breakable mirror that will help it identify who it is when it goes to live with others like it. It has most likely imprinted on you since you were the first it saw when it hatched. Mom.

It's definitely imprinted, if I talk anywhere it can hear me it starts calling. I just pulled out a box of little stuffed animals I've collected, it's always nice to have a few cheap ones in my "emergency box" the couple of times this has happened. The mirror is a good idea though, I hadn't thought of that, thanks!
