Has it internally pipped?

I was Sure it had yesterday I could see its beak in the air cell and was alot more active but now I can't see its beak and its hardly moving can just see a tiny bit of slow moving shadow at the other side

You gave it a safety hole?

Yes near where its beak was yesterday

You could post a candling picture. You may have to start an assisted hatch with that one but if you do, make sure to read the hatching guide again. The main thing is to go slow. Did I share the goose and waterfowl incubation and hatching guide already

I'll try get a picture and post shortly kathiquacks posted one for assisted hatching of all poultry I don't think I've seen a specific one for goose and waterfowl x

There's still no more external pips on the other 2 but they are chirping away in there

It’s really helpful!

I cant get a pic as its 2 light still to show up properly but there's still veins quite visible in the side egg and a little movement had a quick check on the others and the veins are still pretty strong and one looked like it was eating so from everyone's advice and the 2 guides I'm thinking it's too early to start intervining yet even with the side air cell ??

I wouldn’t do a full assist now, no. Maybe a partial assist later tonight for the safety hole / side air cell egg. They’ll usually hatch within 48 hours, but you should really see more progress within 24 - 36 hours.

The other 2 that haven't externally piped yet will that be because of the safety hole and they'll probably go straight to zipping so wait another 24 hours. The side air cell maybe just widen enough to see his position he's not showing any progress at all I'm not sure he can reach to try pip externally I can see bruising in the air cells with the others where they're trying but nothing on that little one. I didn't think I'd be this anxi sorry lol
