    Re: Eggs

    its been a couple weeks now and the eggs look a little like they're very unevenly calcified, a little worried. Added some extra water just in case its a humidity issue and will order a new hydrometer, mine reads 99%. All the eggs still candle great, even saw a couple move!

    Re: Eggs

    day 48 now, getting anxious. Fixed he humidity issue, pressnseal had to be replaced, wasn't sticking very well. Eggs look much better but never became as soft as they were, so worried about them being able to natural pip, thinking of cutting on day 52, opinions?

    Re: Eggs

    Day 52 is still too early to cut IMO. Cutting should occur at day 55 , or after the first hatchling pips. Unless you feel there is a real threat and you need to cut. Just candle for now and check for movement. Stay the course with your temps and humidity for now. Just my opinion. I think you have droplets from the condensation that's been dripping on the eggs.

    Re: Eggs

    Forgot to mention been incubating at 89 degrees. No water marks, eggs don't have marks of any kind anymore, the other pic was when they started to get a little dry, even though probe still read 99%. Thanks for your thoughts!

    That's the problem, I don't think they'll be able to, when it got a little dry, they toughened up a little. I'm worried they won't be able to.

    I would suggest doing as reccomended before, wait for day 55..then cut.

    I'd cut at 55 but that's mostly because I want to see a super fire
