Dented eggs?

[WaRocker]

Ok so how bad do the eggs dent in in the 1st month? I have a batch that is making me worry.. they are so dented in.
Yes I have the pearlite with the egg crate mesh like top lots of water temps are perfect and useing press n seal.. but wow.. These are really bad dented but have good viens... So now what? change them to vermiculite?
Let me know what you would do if anything..

I would check the seal on the Press N Seal. Last year I had a similar problem and it was that humidity was escaping my JCP egg tub. I draped slightly moistened sphagnum moss over the eggs and they plumped back out in a day or two.

What day are you on? Mine started dimpling at day 35, its not a big deal.

Last year a clutch of mine started to Dimple within the first two weeks.

I layed a moist paper towel over the eggs for about 2 hours....this popped MOST of the dent out, and kept it that way throughout the rest of Inc. time.

Hope it helps.

Sounds like everything is fine. Be sure tubs are sealed, and the medium has plenty of water.They will dent in.

i had some corn eggs that dented pretty bad last year, but all we did was put a big layer of moist paper towels on top of the eggs and they were fine.

Ok I am on day 28. The eggs are very very dented.. But I will try the moistened paper towel.. Thank you..

okay how do you set up an egg tub with just perlite as a medium? how 'mushy' does the perlite need to be? how did you do it op?

Be sure if your using substratless do not use press n seal. It causes WAY too much condensation on the sides and lid of the tubs. Substratless can be water for medium. As long eggs are not in the medium it can be as soaked as you want. I have never had to add water to a tub during entire incubation due to the amount of water i add.

If your not using the substrateless with the crate, but eggs in the medium then i HIGHLY suggest the press and seal since the medium cant be wet but moist.
