    Re: Are you a cutter?

    We generally pip the eggs after the first one pips on its own. I always say we will wait, but inevitably after one pips I can no longer wait. No problems so far with this method.

    Re: Are you a cutter?

    Only my third year breeding...but I've cut 2 out of my 6 total clutches. Both were cut on day 58. Last year I cut after the first pip. This year I didn't wait for the first pip.

    Re: Are you a cutter?

    I think I'm going to avoid cutting, I might cut a small flap after day 60 or after one pips. My first clutch is on day 57 so I'm just waiting to see what happens.
