    Egg advice/help please

    At what stage of incubation would you expect eggs to start getting deflated bits please

    We are one day 37 and I am seeing some major dimpling in the eggs

    Temps are consistent at 31.5, humidity is at between 95-100%. I am briefly opening the tub every week to allow air exchange.

    It's my first clutch, all candled amazing at the beginning healthy veins etc xx

    At those temps I would expect to start seeing some collapse anytime around day 40. Doesn't sound to concerning.

    I had a egg dimple this year with normal temps and humidity at day 35 now on day 45 they all are going that way its just normal no worries
    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Non - issue. Just maintain the current humidity percentages and you will be okay.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Usually my eggs do not collapse before the very last week, day 50 or so (they pip at 60), but it can be variable I have had egg collapsing much earlier own and I even had eggs that did not collapse at all. The main concern with egg collapse is to make sure the collapse is not due to humidity issues if it's not it will be fine.

    BTW this
    I am briefly opening the tub every week to allow air exchange
    , is completely unnecessary until the very last week, the less you mess with those eggs the better.
