How to cut?

[extensive]

This is my first year breeding and I have 2 clutches. 1 is on day 53. I am thinking about cutting and I have read a bunch of good posts but I think it would be beneficial if some experienced breeders chimed in here and compiled some tips in 1 thread for a sticky (maybe).

Soooo get to it

Today was day 53 for me, and i cut mine. It was pretty easy, you just have to be gentle.

I incubated at 88.9* first clutch ever* three little babies, lookin good. Cant wait to see what they all look like once they finally decide to come out. Hopefully all will be well with them.

I just cut my 5 egg mojo clutch, but I can't really see 3 of the patterns. From the 2 I could see I saw a mojo and what looks like a pastel, but it's probably a normal that just needs a couple more days for all the pigment to come in. They should be out Wed. or Thurs.
