Keep waiting! 5 weeks is almost certainly too early, unless your incubator is hot. What's it set at?

I jus checked it it was about 88 degrees but i lowered it a little bit so say 86 87 degrees how long should it take? and if it hasnt dented or molded is that good sign since its been about 4 weeks n the eggs looks perfect that it will hatch?

You never know for sure until it hatches lol. Why are you changing the temps on your eggs? That's not something I recommend at all....But at 86, 6 weeks, you should be seeing something soon. Why don't you candle it and then you'll know if its good.
