Hi fellow chicken nerds,
I seem to have run into an issue while incubating that I’m not familiar with. I was candling my goose eggs tonight, I think they’re on day 8 of incubation (I lost track but it’s written down somewhere lol) and I discovered that one of the air cells is quite literally on the pointy side of the egg. (Yes I’m very sure!) I saw a thread from 2008 about this, but never saw any answers. Yes it is possible that the air cell detached and reattached in the wrong place. These are shipped eggs from my aunt, but I did let them rest after shipping. I guess my questions are, has anyone else had this happen before? What was the outcome? And is it possible that this gosling will still hatch? I have had chicks pip on the pointy side of the egg and hatch before, but since this air cell is misplaced I’m worried that the chick won’t know to pip on that side. Any and all thoughts/suggestions are welcome!
Pictures for y’all!
