It is day 54 on these eggs and no dimpling. All candle good and the babies moving around alot. Should I make a small cut in the egss or leave them alone?
From everything I've read (no personal experience) I would wait at leat a few more days. And there is nothing wrong with letting nature takes it's own course. Now to find that patience :rofl:

Leave them alone..
If you are not comfortable cutting, I would suggest just letting them pip on their own.

Having only personal experience with three clutches myself - is it normal to have no dimpling on Day 54? All of mine started dimpling around Day 40 and later.

Re: Day 54!!
from the post i have read on here sometimes they say that eggs never dimple. some do some dont i guess. my temps and humidity are correct. i have checked them once a week since they came out. this is my first clutch also so its all a learning experience for me also.
