    Question Dimpling?

    So... my clutch of eggs is on its 55th day of incubation. They've been at 88.5-89.5 degress pretty much throughout (Save the couple of times I candled them and it dropped to like 84 in the incubator, but only for a few minutes)

    Anyway, my eggs have still not dimpled and their due date should be soon. I've read they are suppose to dimple two weeks prior to hatching, but are their any cases of it happening much closer to the hatch date? Is their something I need to do to stimulate the dimpling (less humidity?) or is it more likely that their are just taking their time and will hatch late?

    The eggs are perfectly fine looking... white and plump. I hope this is not a sign of still borns

    Any input would be helpful...thanks.

    Don't worry about it. They should be fine. Some eggs just don't dimple.

    Sorry, I was just happily surprised . I did not know they could hatch without dimpling. Obviously this is my first clutch and I'm a little anxious.
