How long can a goose survive in the incubator after hatching? (Please answer quickly!)

Your very welcome.

Wow, three batches of helping. Gosling was malpositioned, feet over the head. I ended up having to remove half of her shell and then peel back the membrane as well. I think she'll be alright. Still in the bator to dry off, and then I'll move her to the brooder. Her four siblings and one larger, older gosling are in there right now.

Hello there,
This is a bit of an emergency post. My first gosling just hatched (pictures to come), but I don't want to open the incubator. I have several more eggs in the bator that have only externally pipped. How long can a gosling survive in an incubator?

Every answer is appreciated!

24/48 hours should be ok

I agree with @NatJ

Do note that it is fine to open the bator during lockdown. Shrink-wrapping is only a concern if the humidity dropped for a long period of time. Simply opening and closing the bator will not hurt the hatching eggs.
I open the bator all the time during lockdown. To let chicks hatch in my hand, and to candle internal pips.

On this is a perfect post for my situation right now!!!
