i was curious if barometric pressure would have an affect on the hatching time, currently i am at 53 days of incubation, currently here in Burlington VT, we are awaiting a few days of thunderstorms, which means the pressure is dropping.

the eggs were layed on a stormy night also, i know pressure drops tend to make humans and other animals more likely to give birth/lay eggs . does the same hold true for eggs hatching?

i have noticed a good deal of dimpling going on over the past two days, dimpling that added moisture doesnt seem to correct, so i can only assume that it is from the final yolk getting absorbed. i guess my question is if a storm is rolling in would the pressure change promote hatching?

any info would be grealty appreciated

Adam
