as a 1st time breeder I have a couple concerns.

These eggs are at day 50. The temps are 88.5-90, and the humidity has been in the low 90%

I am concerned about the amount of deflation on a couple eggs (is this normal?)

I also touched an egg today for the 1st time since laying, they felt ALOT harder
than I thought they would be.
so much so that I would be surprised if a baby inside could get out!

can anyone give me a game plan from this point?
I dont want to cut them (or really know how)? How much longer should I wait?
is there a real danger of babies dying because they couldnt escape the egg?

also can anyone provide directions or a link on how to do it? I just want to be prepared should that time come.

I remember reading a post about wetting the eggs with water to help soften the shells?? is that really something anyone does?
