Well this is my first clutch ever, and today is day 63. I woke up and noticed 1 egg had a small slit like an attempted pip.

I've been patient up to this point and decided I would go ahead and cut that egg since he started piping in his own. Well after cutting I got concerned because he was not moving. I tried to get a response out of him and nothing. It appears he drowned in the egg overnight, very sad and unexpected. I did not know that they could drown in the egg so quickly, as I checked on the eggs 6 hours earlier.

With that being said, I cut the remaining eggs. I gave each a gently poke and got a response out of most of them. I hope my first clutch does not turn into a complete disaster.
