    Re: Egg dying, do I detach? (And how?)

At the end of the incubation period, around day 53, the eggs become very easy to pull apart. If I have a dead egg I separate it then.
    This..Be carefull when pulling a funky egg from the rest, the bacteria that is eating the egg makes the shell soft and very easy to tear..and trust me thats a mess in the egg box you really want to avoid.
