    Eggs haven't dimpled
    Alright so I'm a new breeder and I have my first clutch in the incubator. My eggs have been in the incubator for 52 days and haven't dimpled/ deflated. I was wondering if this was normal? What's the cause for it? Is it bad? Thanks in advance everyone

    I had a clutch hatch today 5 eggs two were almost flat. 1 was dimpling and two were as pretty as the day she laid them. It's all just chance on dimpling. Some do some don't

    Still have a few days to go yet too. 55-60 days I'm sure you will see baby heads soon

    They should be pipping soon then. Like BP above said it does not happen all the time. The shells should be getting pretty soft at this point. It is a much better indicator of when they are going to hatch then the dimpling is.

    Eggs are full of veins and have plenty of movement when candled. Hoping for some pretty babies clutch is from my killerbee male and super pastel female

    Not all eggs will dimple, I have some that do not even at 55 or 60 days, not unusual.
