Clutch Countdown

Blair's eggs are starting to show signs that they will hatch soon. There is a lot of condensation forming on the lid of the egg box. The eggs are very soft and have started to dimple. The eggs are generating heat and the egg box is now 2 degrees higher than the incubating temperature. They have about 9 days to go until they are due to hatch... this is my countdown thread. :please:

I'm suprised we haven't heard the "Cut'em" chant yet.
I myself am a waiter not a cutter:D

"To cut or not to cut, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The eggs and slugs of outrageous fortune,
Or to take scissors against a sea of hatchlings,
And maybe by accident, end them!"

It's all I can take not to open the incubator multiple times a day to look at them!

Hahaha... I have thought about it! I might just slit the eggs on day 54 or so just for precautions... but I don't think I will be cutting out a huge window to see inside. :rage:

:D Good luck!!!

PICS PICS PICS PICS PICS!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! :banana::carrot::banana:

How they there yet? :P ;)

Question: Are those who are in the "Cut'em!" Camp also the same kids who carefully peeled the tape off their Christmas presents early to find out what they were getting? HMM!?

I was sneaky one year and looked at one present and I hated the experience on Christmas morning of having to act surprised. Never again did I peak, so I think I'm definitely in the "Don't cut'em" camp. :D

cutting them isnt exactly peeking as much as it is making sure they have the ability to come out of the egg. sometimes the egg tooth doesnt do the job or gets broken so they snake will drown. it does allow you to peek to see what you are hatching only a few days before too

C'Mon..... The anticipation is killing.......... If you won't cut, maybe some really aggressive candling??? ;)

At this point, I'd take updated pics on any changes in external dimpling...........

I always had to act surprised even if I didn't know what it was... my family kind of likes to get me what they want instead of what I would want... :rolleye2:

Thanks Nick, after a little reading I decided that on the due date or when the first one cuts its egg, I will cut a small slit in the others... but no peeking! Want to make sure the babies have an escape route, just in case. :)

I've been trying the candling and can't see anywhere near as much as when I posted my last candling photo... :rage:

So far the eggs are even more soft than before, but I will take some pics just for you!

No we don't! LOL!

Diana its all good when we can get you to laugh and forget about them eggs hatching ;).Are they done yet? snip snip o what a relief it is :8: :8: :8:

7 days to go and the eggs look like this...

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k1...1/d80fb845.jpg

I tried to candle them but can't seem to see the babies very well. I can see bits and pieces of their patterns but that's it... they're not spilling the beans.

Those eggs look messed up! Maybe it's because they don't have any door cut in them. J/K D. They look good. Be strong, I know I never can be.

They look like they got some more wrinkling to do.

I knew the cutters would come out of the woodwork, have patience, dont give in to the dark side:colbert:

Some mentioned animals dieying in the egg? has anyone ever witnessed this?
I have hatched all kinds of critters and never has this happened.

Is this just a myth passed down by the evil cutters?:O

Raul, I'm just going by what the VPI book recommends... cut the eggs after the first pip or on day 55.

Alright, I confess. I'm dying to see the little noses poking out. I myself, however, only slit the others after the gold medalist has pipped, so I will sit quietly and attempt to be patient.

5 More days???

Cheers,
Kat

Can't wait to see those babies Diana.
