I cut some eggs last year because I was just too impatient. I'll not do that again. Seems there is potential for more complications following egg cutting than there are benefits. In my situation, I can't cut eggs unless I have an incubator running to move them to anyway. If I cut my eggs, they are liable to get injured when mom coils around them because cutting destroys the egg's ability to shield and cradle the baby inside. Not to mention that the enclosure can become a gooey mess as the eggs are inadvertently squeeze-spilled.
