Early dippled eggs
I have a couple clutches at the moment in my incubator and one of them is getting severely dimpled. The other clutches that are around the same hatch date haven't started to dimple in at all.
Should I be worried about this and if so is there a way I can reverse it or at least slow it down a bit? All the clutches are set up exactly the same with hatch rite mixed with water so its not dripping wet but wet to the touch. I have the small tubs sealed with press n seal and on this one clutch have added water to the substrate twice to try and reverse this dimpling.
Should I put a wet paper towel over the eggs or just leave them as they are?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Early dippled eggs
Is it possible the top isn't making a good seal?
Generally I would advise leaving them as too much water is far more dangerous to the eggs than slightly too dry.
But if the lid wasn't sealing you could try adding press and seal - just make sure it doesn't lead to dripping on the eggs.

Hi Del, I am using press n seal along with the cover that comes with the tub. All my tubs are set up the same so not sure what is causing this. All the eggs have healthy veins.

Maybe place a small open container of water into that clutch's tub, so you can bring the humidity up without the risk of getting the hatchrite too wet?
