Egg soft and denting... do i open it?

[Neill]

So i had a baby hatch day or 2 ago and im noticing another eggs has collapsed and gotten soft. Should I open it or let it go another day? Pretty sure it was from same clutch.

How's the humidity in your incubator?

 

[Neill]

nice and high

 

[gixxer3420]

You dont want it to high

 

[Neill]

its the SIM container i don't think you can get one TOO high

 

[gixxer3420]

I dont use the SIM containers so my experience isn't going to help you. I'm sorry, I tried though. Good luck.

 

[Neill]

well no one has giving me an answer on we whether i open it or not... so do i open it or not???

Giver her a little more time, it should hatch within 24 hours of the egg denting- If it doesn't I'd pip it then.

Don't open it. Last season I had clutchmate hatch 5 days apart. If it's too weak to hatch by itself it may not be worth it to make it hatch. Maybe it needs more time or maybe it wasn't meant to be.

piped egg after 24 hours was a snow pretty much full formed still attacked to yolk *dead* he looked peaceful tho i think maybe a baby hatching knocked him over.

Hey Neill,
If the yolk was still there it means it most likely died some time ago... Dead in egg neonates is an unfortunate thing but it is common... It is usually the sign of a week animal so it is usually best it never hatches...
