Video...Lots of movement...What stage is this?

[Ks1063]

My Buff Orpington is sitting on 3 goose eggs I had rescued from flooding. It's been over 3 weeks (since she's been on them), and there is LOTS of movement in all 3 eggs!!! The most movement is at 35 seconds into the video. Are they ready yet? Are they ready yet?

I saw what I think was a little goose bill in one of them!

Its shadowing, which means its not internally pipped yet but is close. Its actually in position and is pushing on the membrane toward the inside of the aircell. It should pip internally within the next day or so.

Ahhh...the miracle of life!

Update!

The eggs are wiggling, and I hear peeping and pecking! This momma hen, Buffy, is going to be surprised when 3 goslings arrive!
