Sure looks like they are going to pip any day now, what day did you say you we're on? :)

Sure does! I don't think you have anything to worry about Mike. The condensation means the temps inside the container are higher than outside, which is normal as the eggs will typically increase their temps on their own as they get closer to hatching.

Take a deep breath brother...they look ok. I cut after the first pip. Safe to cut on day 55 or so, candle and dont cut any veins. Dont poke or prode, after cutting just let them come out on their own. I think you will see a pip before then

They are completely normal. It means they are ripe, and will be pippin soon. They should be getting a bit warmer thats probably why the condensation has increased. Relax, they know what they're doing;)

Re: Picture Request.
So do i need to do anything at this point to reduce the deflating or do I just leave em alone????

Re: Picture Request.
Deflating is part of the process, no need to be concerned or do anything. Its just a sign they are getting close, thats all. They need to do that, just chill and enjoy it.
