crazychicknladyLast night I took some pictures of the developing goose eggs. I wish I had taken some pictures before this, since the insides of the eggs showed better when the babies were less developed. As they have gotten closer to hatching the area where the baby is has darkened. I'm not sure if that is just because the babies are getting bigger and filling the space more, or if something else is going on.
I actually thought we might have a baby goose this morning (two days earlier than I originally thought) because there was movement inside the air pocket area of the older egg. It looked like the baby might have broken through into the air pocket. I really hope the babies can successfully hatch and we don't go this far just to end up with dead goslings because they can't get through their shells.
The older egg.
The younger egg.
ETA: The more I read the less optimistic I get. Hatching goslings need humidity. We are not in a highly humid location. I tried adding wetted hay to the nesting box. It's a waiting game, that I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to win.
