When to panic and start cutting

[helmethead]

so it's day 60 and not one has even attempted to so much as peak out of an egg.
the incubator's temp/humidity were checked 3 times a day, not one spike/dip and
the humidity stayed above 96/97% the entire time.
So, when do I panic and start cutting?!

thank you

What temp did you incubate at?

[helmethead]

from 88* - 89*

I don't think you need to panic, but if you are confident about the temps, you could cut them. With lower temps, I have had clutches take more than 70 days.

Panic and cutting don't have to go together. Most of us would have cut several days ago just out of curiosity. If you are worried about them go ahead and cut them. Either way they will probably be fine.

Like others have said it's not really a panic situation. The likelihood of them all not being able to get out is slim to none unless they are all deformed. Day 60 is more than far enough along for a newbie to cut, if you want to that is. I cut at day 52-54.

Are the eggs dimpling yet? Are you sure the temps in the tub were 88-89? You should be fine to cut but if the temps were much lower than you thought you can have more maintenance to do with the eggs if you do cut.

Yep, what Joe said.

I never cut unless other eggs have pipped. I'll bet you temps were cooler than you thought. If it was me I would wait, but thats me. Sealed eggs are bacteria free, cut eggs are not.
