Hello everyone! Thanks for having me in, this community is so wholesome and this is my first post here..

I really need some advice on to what is happening with this egg...

For some context:
I've bought 6 goose eggs that took about 6 days to arrive, next I let them rest overnight small point down for 13 hours or so.
Next day in the morning I started incubating those little ones... but a few hours later some yellow drops started showing on two of those eggs ..

These drops have dried and are honey colored...I tried sniffing the egg but it smells like a normal egg to me

What could this be? Should I remove them from the incubator?

Welcome! Glad you are enjoying the community! Thin shelled or very porous eggs often seep.
 
Thank you Autiejessi3! It's really nice here

I see.. but do you think this egg could possibly affect others somehow?..
I'm afraid of the bacteria risk inside the incubator :confused:
I agree with @Mosey2003 , it will spread bacteria throughout your incubator and may explode.
 
Hello again ...
Thank you both @Auntiejessi3 and @Mosey2003 ... Thank you so much
I was very sad to think about losing those goose eggs, but I would be even sadder to risk losing all of them .. So I followed your advice and you were totally right.

Happened to go outside and break the weeping ones and here's what it looked like

The moment the shell ripped it started to leak liquid out ... really nasty and foul

This was a sad yet useful learning for future hatches, thanks again folks! Will keep incubating the other 4 and see what happens

Here am I again ~

I just candled the goose eggs remaining along with a duck egg that I set together with them.
I got the muscovy duck egg from a neighbor and have been turning them daily while I waited for the goose ones to arrive so they seem fine and were cared for all this time.

For comparison: IMG_20230927_184621.jpg
Here's ducky egg, day 1 of incubation

Here's goose egg number 4... day 1 as well
This one looks dark but also has a large clear side

Here's egg 3... looking all clear inside

Next is egg 5 ... looks pretty dark inside

And at last- we have egg 6 whick looks pretty clear too

None of these are oozing anything so far and I don't smell anything either -

But what do you guys think?
