    Cutting Question

    So there's a lot of talk out there about what day to cut, but nobody really talks about the tool they use to cut and procedure. Please post what you use to cut and technique as I'd love to hear how everyone does it!

    I used bandage scissors (blunt on one end), I think you can get them at a pharmacy. This was my first year with eggs, so I waited until I saw a little slice in the eggshell before I "helped" them.

    I've seen razorblades and tiny scissors mostly
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.

    I have some suture scissors my mom gave me, she's a nurse. They are really tiny and one side is really sharp and the other is a bit smooth. You can use either side depending how you hold them. Any small scissors or razor blade would work.
