Eggs Cut

[RichieBoo]

Cut my eggs on day 48 because a friend said they looked to dimpled in.. so i cut them and they all look good... no veins were cut.....i keep hearing about saline solution...should i use some and how do you put it in just pour a little or should i use a syringe....Mad at myself for listening to this dumb ;ss...never should of cut...do u think they will be fine....

I think they will be fine. The saline is only to prevent them from drying out. Do they look all wet and slimey inside? Deep breathe....and yes you can just pour some in the egg if you think they are drying out.

I've cut on day 45. Your gambling when you cut early... Just saying

Put them back in the incubator, and leave them alone. If your humidity in the egg tub is good, and you don't keep opening the tub, you shouldn't need to add anything.

The saline is usually to flush the eggs when they start building bacteria in the egg.
Cutting on day 40 something I wouldn't do. Even at optimal temps you still could have 12 days to really go. 60 days is the normal for incubation. Usually a couple weeks before hatching the eggs start dimpling in. It's the way things go. Keep them in the incubator and watch for bacterial growth. You have a bit more to go.

Ill definately keep my fingers crossed for you. I dont know if it would make a difference now or not but ive heard of people using cling wrap to reseal a egg if it tore or something. Maybe you could give that a shot and check it every 24-48hrs in case it needs to be flushed with saline.

is this the right saline
