Well I am a first timer myself and my eggs haven't dimpled. They are about 58 days now.

Less than half of my eggs dimple before hatching. It doesn't matter either way. When the embryos require more oxygen than they're getting from the pores of the eggs, dimpling is often the result. I've never know this to be a detrement to successful hatching.
