Issues with hatching naturally

[the running chicken]

I’m currently hatching 6 eggs under a 2 year old goose. All was well until this morning when I came out to 2 dead fully hatched babies. She moved all eggs out of that nest and started sitting again. It’s been 6 hours with this quarter sized hole for another egg and it’s peeping and moving but not making progression... should I help? Could it be stuck? Mumma is great with me so no panic will come from her if I’m in there but I do t know what to do. There is a bit of blood around the hole but it’s not bleeding... This is day 27... No other pips yet so I’m expecting a 2-3 day hatching. Any help would be appreciated!

I think you just need to put it back under mama and let me get you some help. Very sorry about the two that died. @Isaac 0 @Gray Farms @Pyxis

Well I put it under mumma and it’s out, then I saw her trying to kill it! So do I put it in a incubator to dry off, or under a heat lamp? She’s still on 5 eggs, so do I let her finish the hatch? This is hard! She must have been the one to kill the first two?

Thank you! Anything is helpful! She did hatch out but when I checked, mumma was tossing her out of the nest! Do I put her under a heat lamp? In a incubator??

Okay so she’s hatched and is she dry or almost? Do you have a warm brooder set up? Needs to be around 90 right now.

 

[Miss Lydia]

No food or water it’s living on the yolk.

She’s not dry, and she has the little yolk area that isn’t quite healed....

Do you have an incubator?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yeah that needs to finish absorbing and kept clean so as not to introduce bacteria into the open place. I don’t think I’d leave the eggs under your goose if you have seen her trying to kill this one and possibly killing 2 others.

Yes, currently I have chicken eggs in there... day 2! I put the gosling in there to dry out. I could take the egg turner out and hand turn the eggs, and add the remaining geese eggs to hatch?
