Hello!
I have had a terrible year with my sebastopol goslings & hatching.
For context, I had 4/5 hatch with absolutely no problems last year.
First batch 1/5 hatched AND he took 72 hours + needed help. This second batch was superrrrr funky. Left for work in the morning and when I came home, one was fully out. No pips or anything before I left only a couple hours before. Had him and another hatch last night/early this morning.
Now here's my huge dilemma. I was checking the remaining three eggs tonight (because I'm super paranoid about throwing out an alive egg haha) and could feel a gosling kind of pushing against my hand and talking weakly.
Now he's got dried goo on him; mostly from the first guy not absorbing his yolk properly and the other one climbing over all the eggs last night. I'm worried that he won't be able to pip now.
Any tips or ideas on how I can help this little guy?
Thanks
