[makenziebradner316]

I was incubationg some goose eggs and while I was candling one of them I dropped it and it didn't break but the air socket appeared to have grown alot from the drop like I'm talking a whole inch larger is it still possible to hatch my egg will it be safe?

And it appears it may have ruptured the air socket but I moved it around a little and it appeared that it wasn't leaking into the air socket a the gosling was still moving. Will he survive? Well can he/she survive?

It might be fine, and it might not.

For now, I would put it back in the incubator, and give it a few days or a week, and then candle again to see if the gosling is growing properly.

If you cannot tell that egg apart from the others, I would also mark it so it's easy to tell which one it was (pencil or crayon usually work fine for marking.)

They're about 24 days along. And I don't know where to look for info. This is my first time hatching goose eggs

Hopefully we can get some members in who have more knowledge on this

Yes hopefully we can find some more members because the air socket doubled the size it should be after I dropped it and idk very much about this

Did you notice this right away after the drop or a little later ?
