Are you a cutter?
I posted up this thread yesterday and now I'm curious to see how many of you BP.netters are cutters!
My personal thoughts on hatchlings with tangled cords

My first clutch is on day 56 right now and I must say it is hard to resist the urge to cut..
I'm going to leave them be though. I figure the babies that hatch on their own are probably stronger and healthier than those who have the door wide open for them.

Are you a cutter?
My clutch is currently on day 45, and I plan on cutting a very small flap on day 55 or 56.

If I cut, its day 58 or later, and it is a very small flap. Typically I will not cut unless one of the other eggs has pipped. I doubt I will do any cutting at all this season.

Re: Are you a cutter?
I cut some - depends how impatient I am at the time really.
So far haven't had any tangled cords (touch wood ).

Is it "touch wood" over there? Over here its "knock on wood".

I cut my first clutch on day 52.... I know.... But I was kicking myself for it because I wanted to wait to see them pip on their own but peer pressure's a B word... And I am a little impatient and they are doing well so far. For the clutch that is emerging now I waited until the first 4 pipped on their own (day 55) and then cut small windows in the others. This is my plan from here on out! So I guess I am a cutter even though I have only had 2 clutches ever so far...
