57 days in to incubation, the ball hasn't come out yet. The egg hasn't dimpled in and Im wondering when this guy is going to crack through the shell. Should I cut the egg or wait till day 60. Andy suggestions?
Thanks,
Kyle

Really I'd say wait and see if they hatch out without being cut. But thats just me and I wouldnt cut an egg unless totaly needed. Others might have something else to say. I'm sure tosha will.

What have your temps been at? Do you see any movement? I have had eggs go full-term without collapsing. I say wait the extra 3 days. I doubt it will hurt either way though.

When I candle the egg, there is alot of movement. My incubator has been a steady 89-90 degrees. I felt the egg and its really tough, compared to my other clutch that will be hatching in less then a week. I think I should cut it because it doesn't seem like the ball could break through the wall of the egg.
