Couldn't stand it anymore. I candled each remaining egg, found a clear area near the top of each egg and sliced a small "v" in each. Below is a photo taken an hour later of the first egg cut, so I'm feeling a little better about the prospects for the clutch. First-born is two days old going-on-three waiting for her litter mates to catch up. Perhaps there is justice in the world? 63 days, 22 hours and counting.....
