just keep your cool and be patient, sometimes they don't all make it.
I have had times that a few hatch and a few (after opening the eggs, had started to grow, but stopped and died)
just hope for the best

I know that with chuck eggs they start to indent and shrivel up to 2 weeks before they hatch which is a normal thing to happen. Could it be they are getting ready to hatch? Tom

incubation time is 40-60 days with 56 being more normal. i think the eggs sweat and dent but don't think it starts this long beforehand. i am new to hatching and still trying to get my first grandchild after many losses last year.
