When to remove press n seal

Like the title says...

When do you guys remove the press n seal from your egg boxes? In on over the stickies I saw someone say they remove on day 45...

I would say you should start burping the tubs (exchange air and then re-seal) around that time but I personally do not remove until 55ish if there hasn't been a pip yet. Eggs can dry out, but I haven't heard of complications from keeping the humidity too high as long as they aren't getting dripped on.

I burp the tub every other day..

do the eggs need oxygen? there is some metabolism going on, so i would expect the eggs to take in some oxygen and to pass some CO2, using the air bubble at the top, but i honestly dont know if the quantity is meaningful.

Press-n-seal is not even necessary if your substrate mixture is right and your incubator has a good seal. Don't have a problem in 6qt Sterlite tubs with just standard non-locking lids. Plenty of humidity in my tubs without any press-n-seal. Inspect weekly and then every day after day ~45 or so.

Clutch #1 this season so far....

The "deflating" is natural near the end of incubation.

That's what I figured, but just am not sure if I should remove the pns now or wait longrr

These pipped on their own at day 52 last season. Most all the eggs were "deflated'.
