Is this little guy shrink-wrapped?

[CherP]

This little one pipped and then made this hole, about four hours ago. Can anyone see if he looks shrink-wrapped? Humidity is 75% (it’s a goose).

What day of incubation?

Only day 28.

I'd wait a bit as they can rest before zipping, and helping out while the yolk is not absorbed can be a death sentence. If you help, gently/gradually remove shell and stop immediately if blood vessels are encountered.

Only day 28. He’s out now! Three are hatched. Two to go, but I think they may have died a few days ago in development.
