In the past we have only had 4-5 babies drown in their eggs, and they were eggs that did not dimple prior to hatching. I sorry but if i can save a life with a small slit then i am sure as He** going to make that small cut. Im not about to stand by and watch an animal die b/c it is not "suited to live". That statement is ridiculous. If your dog gets hit by a car you do everything in your power to save that animals life, you dont shrug your sholders and walk away and leave the animal to die b/c it may not have a chance a living any longer. Give me a break. Your telling me if none of your eggs have hatched by day 60 and they are all still filled with fluid that you would just let them rot instead of trying to save the animals you broght into this world? You have got to be kidding me. I agree with you Mike , day 54-55 is a perfect time to "slit" balls, i am not saying to filet your eggs, although in the pic he posted it is obvious that all the veins were already absorbed wich means at that point there is no harm in cutting away the excess egg, but i would rather cut then have them die even if death is in the lower percentile. Just my opinions.
