If the others have pipped then yeah - go ahead and cut.

Candle the egg - find a spot away from the baby and where there aren't any veins if it's dented already thats usually where I find it safest to start otherwise pinch a bit of the egg together and make a small slit - from there you carefully put your scissor in and angle the blade so you are cutting up out of the egg not down into it.

Good luck!
