Need help with eggs hatching

JDalbo May 21, 2006 07:42 AM

I'm on day 57. Yesterday morning my first egg pipped, and last night the second did. However, I still have 3 that haven't. When I candle the eggs I still see veins throughout. Should I leave them be or can I cut. At what point do I wait too long? Thanks Joe

I usually wait 24-48 hrs after the first one pips before cutting open the other eggs.
