One of my goose eggs has pipped on one part of the shell and now it is pecking in another part of the egg. Is this normal??? Did he get confused somehow??
 
He'll be fine. When I did my first hatch I saw this....turned out he was zipping lol
 
Zipping is when they are basically cutting off the top of the egg... the peck and push all the way around the egg with their beak, once they have that perforated line, then can push and pop out. Probably not the best explanation, but hope it helps you!
 
Ohhhhh ok... that makes sense. Thanks! I am not worried anymore.
