Babies not piping after cut

Ok so I cut my 7 egg clutch 2 days ago (day 55) and not one baby has piped yet. All the babies look fully developed with color and pattern, I also did not see any unabsorbed yolk or deformities/ wrapped umbilicus. I incubated at 89-90 and my other clutch that I cut day 55 piped very quickly. Am I worrying for nothing or is there anything I should be looking for?

They'll come out when they're ready. How big were your windows?

Chill out. Nothing can be done at this point, you just need to wait.

My windows are good size triangles big enough for them to get out. They moved when I cut the eggs but I have never had an entire clutch not pip within 2 days before. I just do not want the eggs to get moldy or the fluid to get bad.

They have flaps, right? As long as you put the flaps back over and they seal up ok, just keep an eye on them. Once you cut, there's not much to be done except wait and watch.

Yea they have flaps.

Just because you are ready doesn't mean they are. They come out when it's their time not yours. Are all babies born on the same time period?

I just have never had hatchlings not pip for this long so I just wanted to make sure they were ok and make sure something was not wrong.

What color are the veins?

The veins are red.
