NEED HELP FAST! RE: RESCUED GOOSE EGG!!

What's your location Gooseegg? Is there anyone near you who might have experience with assisted hatching that you can ask to give you a hand?

Im in OKC. The size of my hole in the egg is probably not quite a dime size. I see what looks like a membrane. Maybe the outer? Its dark. Looks dry? Do I break it?

I was out with my husband for our 12th wedding anniversary last night. I got back and it was real late. I wasn't sure what to do. So I was going to wait till this morning at the latest
 
The hole is the size of a nickel now. I can see in. I broke the inner membrane which was real soft. Theres liquid in the egg. I stopped. I just cant go any further. I really want to take the egg somewhere first thing in the morning and have someone else finish it. I just can't see a little baby goose that died but I also dont want to throw it away and it be alive. I think it died for sure. No movement when I candle it at all. I wish I had done something the last time I hear it peep but was told by someone else to wait till today. I never know what the right thing to do is. I think I lost it.
 
Im gonna take it to Wildcare (a wildlife rescue) at 9am. Just in case.
 
Sorry to hear all this Gooseegg. It's a very fine balance with assisted hatching. Too early and it bleeds to death, too late and it dies of exhaustion. Many people just leave them and accept that they lose a few, but when you only have one you do the very best you can, as you have.
 
It died of exhaustion they said... I would have took it there weeks ago but the girl there told me they didn't have good success with geese eggs...I feel terrible. I left there in tears... Thanks everyone for helping.
