    Moldy Egg - When to Cut.

    So some of you know I have an egg that I've been fighting mold on since about day 7 of incubation. Today, the egg is at day 52. Even though I plan on letting the rest of the clutch pip on it's own, I do agree with those who suggested that I cut the egg. The problem is I'm not sure if I should cut it today...or wait until day 54 or 55. I've been taking the egg out of the incubator for about 5 min every 3 days or so to wipe off mold. I'm not sure if that's pertinent information, but I thought I would include that as well. My biggest worry is cutting it too early and risking getting gunk in the egg that may kill the baby. On the other hand, I worry about not cutting soon enough and the baby dying because it couldn't get out on it's own.
