    How often can I check on eggs after cutting?

    Since cutting the eggs seeing cute little faces I feel even more anxious and nervous then ever...but my question is how often should I peek in on them while waiting too come? Or just I just leave them alone completely until the come?....

    As little as possible. I know it can be hard not to look at them every other minute

    I'd leave them be. Maybe once a day just to gauge their progress on when they will be out of the egg. But there is really no need for more than that. I feel that constantly stressing them out by opening and closing their tubs may stress them out too much and cause they to wait longer before fully emerging.

    Once a day to check if the eggs need cleaning or topping up. I keep a spray bottle in the incubator to ensure it is at the same temp. I use q-tips to remove any fungal/bacterial growth in the egg white.

    Any tips on how to know there close too coming? I've noticed since I cut the eggs a few days later there is a lot less liquid and yolk inside?

    Not really, they'll emerge when ready. I cut my first clutch two days ago (#53) and already have two heads sticking out today. But could be several days before they take the plunge. Give them time, no rush. Good luck!
