Egg Question...please look

If the egg feels softer and almost like the shell is thinner is this a sign that it is going to hatch???

Yes, the baby will absorb the fluids and the shell will soften slightly so the baby can slit through the egg. It is not a sure sign tho, since i have a leo egg whose shell softened and the baby died anyway at 57 days of incubation. Good luck!

Im sorry to hear that good luck with the rest of your eggs. Also though after the egg starts to soften how much longer does it take??
