Definitely let the baby push out when it chooses too, they’ll pip before they’re finished absorbing their yolk which they need to do before hatching. hatching can take awhile for waterfowl babies too.I didn't see these posts until now, but the chick has started peeping and has cracked the egg. It frequently peeps but hasn't hatched yet. We don't know what to do with it when it does, there is a broody goose with eggs but this egg is not from her clutch so we don't know when hers will hatch.
