Aww too bad he tried to zip while you were gone. That's bad luck.Thanks. The one with the deformed bill died, and and a couple others never pipped on their own, but I had successful assists.
I did lose one that zipped two-thirds of the way on its own and then quit. Happened while I was at work, so I wasn't home to break it out.
The weekend mine hatched was super stressful. Seems that's a common enough theme.
I'm hoping the geese hatch easier. Day 23 on some of them.
