I Had to assist in the hatch the last egg of our clutch 5 this morning it was positioned all wonky with his head under his wing facing toward the skinny side of the egg, pipped externally on his own 32 hours prior and never would have been able to unzip the shell on its own... I was SO worried about it & all the veins were gone this morning on inner membrane & Ironicly numbered egg 1 and born 6/1 LOL currently drying in the incubator and will be put into the brooder with its pals in a couple hours! We have 5 happy goslings! They are literally the cutest!

Aw, congrats! They are so so cute!
I had my second gosling hatch this morning!! He pipped at the wrong end as well, but he broke through the shell quickly so I didn't even have time to worry.

Thanks. I figured someone would scold me
Ironically, all the other three eggs are very clean, yet this is the one that's trying to hatch.

I'm in the "set a dirty egg" club, too.

I refuse to remove bloom and haven't had a goose egg blow yet...and they hatch just fine. I prefer clean ones, of course, and provide clean, cushy nests, but there's no telling them where to lay!
