99% of my clutches come out in 60-64 days. I don't cut until the first one pipps. I've seen a couple clutches from others that they lost babies due to cutting. I would just rather wait until others are pipping on their own. Look at it this way if you cut on day 56 let's say they don't come out until day 62 that's 6 days of egg maintenance. Flushing etc to make sure bacteria doesnt build, if you do have bacteria build any babies lives hang in the balance.
If the first one pips on day 62 and then you cut the others, you won't have any egg maintenance to go through and very little chance of losing babies due to bacterial build up etc.
