My 4 pilgrim goose eggs air sacs "dipped down" on Monday (3 days ago) and yesterday I noticed the shadowing around the lower edge of the air sac (when it's facing the correct way up). It looks like something pressing up against the air sac membrane trying to break it in little fluttery irregular movements. It's continued to today and I was wondering how long might it take for them to internally pip (if they are going to manage it?)
I don't know at what point I should be worried but from everything I've read it seems that if they don't manage to internally pip there isn't much you can do to help/assisting a hatch only seems to work once they've internally pipped to help them externally pip and zip? Not sure whether to make a safety air hole anyway.
Very anxious for the babies! Fingers crossed
