Thinking of slitting...

I am thinking of slitting Ginger's eggs at Day 55. I am still debating because I am afraid that they can't get out as I have read about hatchlings being stuck. Then I am scared that I could slit too early and harm them that way! I can see them moving in the eggs when candling.. gosh this is togh.

I always wait if I'm going to cut an egg until at least one has pipped in the clutch.

Well if you end up deciding to do it, here's a link from Ralph with pictures.

Awesome site Jo; thanks for linking to it. I am going to wait for now.. though it Is killing me.. :/

Jennifer... I am not gonna lie, when I first read the title I was like "WTF!!!". Then I noticed it was in the bp breeding section and that you were talking about cutting open the eggs and I felt like an idiot. Blame my suicide paranoia.

LOL. But yea, knowing myself I would probably be a "cutter" if I had eggs in the oven as I lack patience.

I think I would wait, just to be more surprised when they start pipping.

Yeah, it's depressing... I have 4 healthy eggs at day 55 today... one went bad a few weeks ago... waiting sucks... I'm thinking about cutting... I'm going to go listen to some Hinder and old Staind as I contemplate cutting...

...and what's so funny about that is I listen to country...

LOL

Hey I just made BPnet Veteran!!!

lol..!
It is so fascinating. I candled Bela's eggs for the first time at Day 46, and WOW! One of them was pretty close to the egg surface and I could make out its whole pattern and everything, though I did not see the head. They have got to be Pastels; they look like black-on-white from what I can see. I am going to refrain from cutting for awhile.
Not that kind of cutting!!
