Re: cut egg and fluid leaking?
Question... if they stay in the egg, not even pushing on the slit I made (which they're not as of this morning), how long until they try to come out? There's still a lot of the egg white in there. I'm on Day 61.
Also, I just made a slit, not an opening big enough to see in (maybe 3/4"). I have no idea what's in there.

Unfortunately, no one can give you that answer. It really depends on the animals themselves. Sometimes I wish that they all just followed the same "program" and crawled out of the egg on day 2 for example ... but the reality is that some jump out right away, others sit for days and days before they're ready. They're very individualistic like that.
Keep an eye on them so that they don't dry out and they'll be fine. ;)
Hope this helps.

Re: cut egg and fluid leaking?
Thanks :) I am debating on slitting the others. I wonder if our slitting the one, made the one that's out now, self-pip somehow? It's like the early guy at the party "um.. hello.. where is everyone?..."
Re: cut egg and fluid leaking?
So, how exactly do you keep them from drying out? A just wet paper towel? Is that the most common way?

Honestly, I am not 100% on the answer to that. Just heard to do it. Might help them with security more.
Re: cut egg and fluid leaking?
You have nothing to worry about. When you cut an egg and the fluid leaks out it is fine as long as you do not squeeze it all out. If you look into the egg you will notice the baby is in a clear sack you may see a few vains on top of it. Under no circumstances do you break that sack. Once the baby is ready it would break the sack. Other than that you need not to worry. They will come out when ready. Good luck.
