    Eggs not dimpling?

    My eggs are at day 50 and are not dimpling, though the shell has softened and they feel very leathery and pliable...is this normal? All eggs has active and moving babies. When candles there seems to be a lot of debris inside the egg. Veins are not shrinking either. They are incubating at 88.5/89 F and humidity is as close 100% as I can get it.

    Only one of my eggs dimpled before they started pipping and that was right at day 55. This was my first clutch, so I was nervous about EVERYTHING. I left them alone other then candling, and they all pipped themselves.

    Sometimes they don't dimple, when the first one pips you can go ahead & cut the rest, or let them do it on their own.
