    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.

    Well.....yea on waiting for what seems like an endless amount of time!!!

    I wonder if you'll be able to wait until those little noses poke themselves out of the egg.... or will you cut...??????

    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.

    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.
