RE: When to cut open eggs?

I don't slit eggs anymore. Everytime I have tried it has been a disaster.



One time I slit an egg because I thought the clutch was overdue and the one I slit emerged prematurely without having absorbed the yolk and died. The rest of the clutch hatched just fine 2 days later.



In my view, as long as the eggs look good, and there is appropriate humidity in the egg box, they will hatch when they are ready.



If an egg doesn't pip after the rest of them do then likely it was doomed to begin with and slitting wouldn't have helped anyway.
