Picture Request.

[Mike Cavanaugh]

I am on day 49. does anyone else have any eggs this age? If so can you post a picture of them?

Getting a little nervous. My humidity is still just under 100% and my eggs are deflating BIG time. They are still white, and I can clearly see the snakes (and patterns) when candeling.

One more question... if you cut, on what day do you cut?

thanks!

I'm a week behind you at day 42. Eggs begin to dimple and become soft a 2-3 weeks before they hatch. This makes it easier for the little hatchlings to cut through the egg shell. Mine are just now starting to "deflate".

I can try to get some pictures for you during the next week if you still want them, but I'm trying to only disturb the eggs during their weekly egg-tub airing session which was about half an hour ago.

Mine are on day 46 in this picture (taken yesterday); they actually started dimpling about a week ago, but have slowed going any further the past day or so. I don't cut until the first one pips.

Yeah, that picture is close to what they look like... only mine are a little more deflated. One especially is more deflated then the others. will try to post a pic tonight when I get off of work.

Is there anything special you are supposed to do with the eggs at this point? I read somewhere where a guy puts damp newspaper over the eggs at this point to help soften them up.

Getting a little nervous.

really....couldtn't tell.

Last year when I was a bit concerned with the early denting, I wet and wrung out a paper towel with water that was warmed in the incubator and laid it across the tops of the eggs (without smothering them). It seemed to arrest any further denting.

They are fine, thats just what they do dont worry, Be Happy! You could just cut them now and be done with it.

Ok here are the pics.... they are definately more dented then the ones posted above.

Please advise ASAP! As I can see by these pictures I just took, they deflated even more today....
