I have heard that the eggs dimple a little bit before they hatch. How soon before they hatch does this occur? 24 hr? 2 days? I have some Tricolor eggs that are due to hatch at any time, and the first one laid has developed some small dimples on the top today. Today is the 70th day for the first one.

Hmm... I might have another problem then. I have 3 eggs from a hognose, and one of them have these little drops off liquid on them. The egg looks fine, and have bloodvessels in it, if I put a flashlight to it. I hatched 10 hognose babies last month and dont remember little drops of liquid on them, not even before hatching, I might remember wrong, but anybody got any idea what it is??

Its not due to water from the incubator.
