    Re: Pros and cons of cutting eggs on day 52

    I do not recommend cutting unless one start to pip or you know when they are due to hatch.

    Since I used the same setup, I know that my animals pip at day 60 so on day 60 I either cut everything or whatever has not pip on It's own.

    What are the risk of cutting early?

    Dryness - Bacteria Exposure - Twisted Umbilicus (same if you candle too often towards the end of incubation.

    So my advice be PATIENT, yes cutting can save an hatching but it can also kill it.
