Help needed with dented eggs

[terrilg]

have several eggs in the incubator. But one has been in for 47 days and all of a sudden it has quite large dents on the bottom and when I picked it up it also dents on the side. I have them in vermiculite and temps are about 85 degress give or take and I use a hovabator. The substrate is most but not wet. Do you think it is going bad? Do they dent prior to hatching? I hope it is OK, I have 5 more in there also.
Any comments or suggestion would be great.
Thanks

They might be getting ready to hatch. When I get dented eggs, I moisten a piece of paper towel and gently lay it over the eggs, and they usually plump back up.

What i do is barrie the egg till its almost completely covered by the (what ever you use to incubate them in, i use hatch rite) and then mist it once again. And then the next day it is always plumed rite back up.

But dont mist it to much, the substrate can get to wet, & cause the Embreyo to drown.

or do what Marcia Said.
