Re: Day 46 cutting an egg
This is a pretty advanced question. I personally would not cut the eggs. Cutting will do no good to the baby. If they are still alive, their lungs are probably not developed enough to breathe air yet anyway. So if I it was my clutch I would wait and cut on day 53 (my cut day).
I hope they make it. Good luck.

Re: Day 46 cutting an egg
I just cut my clutch at day 58, but wish I didn't. My 2nd clutch is on day 50, but I am waiting for them to pip. So 60 is going to be my cut date. They remained in the eggs for what seemed forever, so I want to see if they come out on there own quicker this way. I would wait at least 52 or more.

Re: Day 46 cutting an egg
What temp did you incubate?
Edit - nevermind....
Is it possible you have the days off? Could it actually be later in incubation?
I've only seen this once, at a big breeder's place, but they showed me two eggs that the babies were unable to pip their eggs, panicked and stripped the blood vessels off the top of the egg and ultimately drowned in the eggs.
At Day 46, that seems unlikely, but that's the first thing that I thought of when I saw that, that the blood vessels had been stripped by the thrashing of a panicked baby.
Were it ME, and I saw light veins, I'd be awfully temped to cut the two where you're not seeing good veining any longer, in the off chance that the babies are alive.
