hello, as of now, my hatch rate is 10 live, 1 dead full term, 2 unhatched, on a large clutch of 13 greybands. I bring up this question because I was expecting all 13 to be good, as they looked great throught incubation. Of note, on the one dead one, I noticed a small slit on egg near where another egg was fused on to it, so after 18 or so hours I cut small window and although head was lined up away from other egg the baby had perished. It wasn't deformed in any way. Could it have been impeded by fused egg? The 2 other eggs that haven't pipped are also at some point fused with others. Should I have cut/should I immediatly cut remaining eggs?
Do most of you get 85% or better on large clutches or is it an all good/ all bad clutch thing? hoping others still pip as there is room for them. My hatch started Tuesday...Dave.
