Hi, I usually incubate and hatch chicken eggs,but at the moment have a Ebden goose egg in the incbator with my chickens eggs. I am not 100% sure ,but I would assume that a developing gosling in an egg is similar to that of a chicken egg. To tell if the gosling is still alive or not,use a very bright lumin flashlight to candle the egg. Make sure you do it in a very dark room. Depending on how long the egg has been incubating,you should see a dark mass inside of it. There should be movement. Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention...when candling the egg, place the flashlight on the biggest end and make sure that only the egg receives the light of it(not shining through your fingers etc). If your gosling is alive inside of the egg, it is amazing to watch(sometimes catching a glimpse of a foot or beak). Keep in mind, it takes 28-30 days for a goose egg to hatch.
Good Luck !!!!

There are several ways to see if your goose egg is dead, or still. The preferred method is to crack the egg open slightly and check for signs of life manually, but the otherwise you can send it through an MRI. The MRI will show whether it is dead or alive, but may cause damage to the goose if it is alive. It may cause cancer and in severe cases, death.

I think the bird in dies. I had found a robins egg once that had a dead baby robin in it.
All species of Birds are born alive in the egg! The only bird born NOT in an egg is a DEAD bird! All birds are born in an egg.
the bird would take the egg from back from you bird saves it they hatch into cute baby birds
It means that the baby bird inside got out.
No. It will be pushed out of the nest.
egg, baby, adult bird, and death
It either hatches and a baby bird comes out, or the egg rots.
egg
wait. keep it warm in blankets and heat pads. you will soon see
usally yoke if it is dead
U can use the water test, put the egg in cold water, if it floats...it's dead, if it sinks it's alive
one time I heard that once you touch the egg the female won't warm the egg anymore, or if you touch the baby bird she will stop feeding the baby NC
