Helping goslings out of the eggs

If hatching goslings cannot break a hole into the protecting egg shell, they will suffocate. At Discovery Garden Pattaya we carefully help them to crack the shells and getting out of the egg which is protective, but also often a deadly straight jacket. It is always a difficult or delicate task, but this time around we are successful and can save another three goslings.

Thank you for this video! First time incubating goslings and you helped me save my first one stuck in its egg.

This is probably the best instructional video on assisted hatching of a goose egg on UA-cam. Thank you for uploading this.

Great video. Love your accent,my Gram from Passau and speaks very similar...I never realized the task put upon a chick to hatch itself. Must be exhausting,and an anxious process as the chick wants out once he feels the air after the zip begins.

I grew up in the country and had animals. Our favorite goose sat on some eggs and hatched out a bunch of goslings. However the eggs that didn’t hatch, dad would chuck them out into the field and I liked to hear them explode, and they STUNK!! Well one egg didn’t explode and I walked over to see why it didn’t, and there was an almost formed gosling with his egg yoke still left to get in his belly and it was still alive. I was so sad for that little bird. I will never forget that scene

Thank you so much for this video! I have just starting hatching geese and it was very helpful! I would love to see you do more on geese! I am also a new subscriber. ❤️🙏

Thank you for the video! Do you ever make holes in the membranes as well or just the shell? Thanks again!

Wow,he's really stuck in there

I had to help one of mine hatch. She seems very weak after 48 hours after hatch. She can walk a few steps and wont hold her head up long. I have given her water with vitamins that she will drink but wont eat. Will she be okay? Is there anything else I should do?

Thanks for showing me this amazing am hatching goose eggs xx

I rescued some baby gosling a couple weeks ago, and had one hatch Sunday night. After about 12 hrs of no progress but still breathing I decided to go ahead and help assist it. I removed the top portion and they were able to get out on their own.

Put a little warm water in between him and the egg, and maybe he can wriggle himself out

[@happyishness.]

hello. my gosling couldn't get out so i helped him. now he is out but very weak. he's been lying for 5 hours inside the incubator. he didnt even open his eyes but he sometimes moves. I dont know what i can do to keep him alive. I tried giving some water but he wont drink it. 😔

Thank you, Hans! I have three Toulouse Geese. My first time ever with geese. I want to incubate some Hookedbill ducks in the near future! I am learning a lot from you! I also watch, “A Chick Called Albert”.

Im just doing this with a clutch of goose eggs under a pet turkey

[@catherinelaidlaw5792]

I need a bigger incubator. Your may be primitive but big enough to care for the larger eggs I have.

Seid vorsichtig mit den niedlichen Tierchen ....🦆
