Egg weight to hatch times comparisons?
Just thought I'd ask the question of you guys who have had experience with several clutches.
Have you come across any difference in hatch times such as smaller eggs hatching quicker . I guess the reason I ask is a smaller egg has less yolk to absorb then a larger egg. Or us it pro rata. Bigger eggs bigger babies ect.
Another reason I ask is that I have a clutch on day 37 which, after an initial humidity issue in the first 14 days (which was corrected thanks to you guys), that after a further 3 weeks at 99% humidity and 88-89 degrees has suddenly dimpled again just like the do before they hatch. Is this right as I still have 3 weeks ish to go. The clutch average was 65g per egg and as of today all still candle well with no mold and still pearly White
no pics unfortunately as I'm not at my computer but just curious as to your opinions.

That sounds right. Eggs can begin to dimple in preparation for hatching starting about three weeks or so before they actually hatch.

Mine normally start to dimple at the 2 week mark so 3 weeks is not that far off. You can lay a moist paper towel over the eggs to help rehydrate them. If they stay dimpled then they are preparing to hatch.
