    Leaking egg, day 59/60

    I checked on the eggs this morning, one of them had some of the clear fluid on the outside with no visible slit from them working their way out. It seemed to be in a thin spot of the shell but not quite a full window. Think this is them starting to come out or is it something to worry about?

    Btw, how often do you all check the eggs when the due date is close. I've been checking twice a day. Once in the morning and once before going to bed.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Sounds like one piped.

    Awesome! I'm hoping to get home tomorrow and see a snoot or two poking out. I'm glad I got the rack put together and plugged in a couple days ago

    I generally check in the morning. Even if they pip it's usually more than a day or two before they come out

    The first pipper has popped! Though not the egg I was expecting, and right in day 60.

    Are those eggs that went bad during incubation? 3 good eggs?

    There's 4 good and 4 bad on this clutch. I'm surprised they were good at all. The lady i incubated them for was going to try maternally incubating them. But due to a bunch of issues, all yhe eggs dries out but we're pretty much sitting in water. All te eggs were brown and shriveled when I put yen in the incubator after about 5 days.

    The first baby is out. Atleast for now, it's a nice orange looking normal. I hope it holds after shedding. It wasn't defensive at all, biting not balling up. Just moving around and learning its muscles.

    The other two were dead in the egg. And had been for a few days from the smell and fades look.
