Eggs denting question.....

phiber_optikx Jul 25, 2007 11:15 PM

A few of my eggs are denting in and they have about 7 days to go. I know this is fairly normal since it is close to hatch and they could come early. But there are one or two that have been dented in for over a week so around day 40-45. Is this sometimes normal? They are still white but fairly dented in. One has one or two very small brown spots on it but still seems good. Of course I will hold onto them until they are completely rotten. I just wanted some advice. I am getting ansy!

About half of my eggs didn't dent at all before pipping.
The ones that did dent hatched first.
