day 45 on eggs and a question

my clutch is on day 45 and they have begun to dimple, I'm pretty sure this is normal dimpling. humidity is more than enough because I saturate the sub and use the light defuser and they are incubating at 89.5-90.

my question is should I cut the small super dimpled egg early? I was planning to cut next Friday the 1st but this small egg was laid last and dimpled some in the beginning, went away, and has been in this dimpled state for about a week and a half. what do you guys think?

thanks!

Judging by the way those eggs look you would be fine cutting them on day 50, and them be out by day 52 or 53. I'd leave them until at least day 50, even the super dimpled one, it's fine.

Ya, they will be fine until Friday! If they dimple and are soft then you are okay! When they dimple and get harder then there is a humidity issue! Good luck!

ah ok thank you. they are still rather soft, but I understand they will get more paper-like towards the last couple days correct?

That is perfectly normal around this time. I know everyone has their opinions on cutting but I personally wait for the first to pip and then I will cut. That way you can be almost positive they are all ready. Good luck with the clutch!

Mine started to dimple about the same time, one of them dimpled a lot more than the others and looked exactly like that one of yours. It really hasn't dimpled much more, and is doing just fine. They are on day 52 now and I'm planning to wait till the first one pips before I cut.

If there is plenty of water in the bottom they are fine and it's completely normal. Once they get a little farther along you will notice a lot of condensation on the lid of the tub. You'll definitely know there is plenty of humidity in there at that point.
