  1. use a wet wash cloth and gently wipe off maggots then keep warm indoors and keep scratch avaliable to eat with a little water added


  2. If the baby goose appears to be moving, let it try to hatch itself because this helps build the strenght to live outside the egg, but if it stopped moving, slowly help it out of the egg but don't hurt the gosling. go to the store and get it goose food, a heat lamp, and a bird water bowl. Put it in a box and hang the heat lamp over it but not too close. The goose food and water is all it will need to eat and drink. If you plan to keep it around, try looking up goose info online. The bird will need a lot of room as it gets older and in a few days fill up a tub and let it swim around or take it outside to swim for a little bit if there's water around. It will follow you if you go back toward the house because it thinks you are the mom. When it gets old enough and has its adult feathers, let it go if you can. We let our babies go at the pond when they got older and ignored them for a while and they eventually  joined with the wild geese and they are now wild and happy as they should be. Good luck!

  3. Keep picking them off,and drop them into some alcohol to kill them.There will be more eggs,though,that will hatch,so you will have to watch and get them off or the baby will die.You can go ahead and help the baby out of the egg - it won't hurt it,and it may just save it's life.Get it cleaned up and bathe it  as soon as it can stand,then make sure it is warm and feed it poultry starter,small insects and finely chopped greens. You will need to call a wildlife rehab center or a vet to help you. Is this a wild goose or a domestic one?

    Edit: If it isn't fully developed,the kindest thing you can do is to kill it.I know it will be awful,but it will suffer.Just hold it's body in one hand and the head in the other and pull as hard as you can to break the neck - it will die instantly. If you can't bear to do this,then just keep it warm and comfortable,and it will pass very soon. I'm so sorry you tried so hard to save it only to have it be underdeveloped.

  4. keep doing what you're doing.
