Cut eggs?

I voted 'cut to help survive'
This being my first clutch I originally planned to not cut, but since the eggs have been thru brief phases of hell early on I probably am going to cut. I'm still hoping and praying that theres no complications with any of the babies, and I will let some of them pip on their own first of course, but I want to make sure they all make it or at least have the best/easiest route out of their eggs.

I didn't cut at all at first.. until my second clutch when a bumblebee put a tiny slit in the egg... and then drowned! Now I cut religiously at day 54.

We cut after the first one pips because they are done incubating.

cut small window after the first one pips. am i curious whats in there of course i mean really who isnt but id also like to be able to help prevent one not being able to get out do to no egg tooth etc..

I cut regardless at day 55. Ive had twisted cords in the past and its alot easier to deal with the sooner you see it.

I cut 'em as soon as they come out...why wait? :D

This year I cut at day 54. The reason I cut was because the shells where denting and tough. I didn't think the babies could come out on their own without a bit of help. I also candled while I was cutting so I didn't hit any major blood vessels. I had only one eggs show any signs of blood after I cut and that was a very small amount. I took a bit of a peek but didn't poke at them so only saw a bit and not sure exactly what I got. I am excited to see what comes out of the eggs. I want them out NOW :D but I can wait now that I know they can come out in their own sweet time.

We cut after they start pipping. Just a little slit or V shape. We don't do the whole giant window/top 1/3 or so off the top that some folks do. Just enough to to help them get out and monitor any possible problems.

Once the first egg slits they come out of the incubator and are all slit!
