Is this egg getting ready to hatch?

Two of my eggs that I've been incubating at 84-85 deg are currently at 42 days and one of them shows a very obvious bullseye when candled. The second is starting to dimple on the bottom side of the egg(no mold etc) but when candled shows nothing, there is no bullseye, no pink nor yellow. It's like the light can't penetrate to the other side of the egg to show any color.
Could this mean the egg is getting ready to hatch? Or is it a dud?

yeah im in your shoes. I have two eggs that have been at 84/85 and this is day 46. How long is it supposed to take at this temp? Mine are both just really big and candle dark pink, but i cant totally tell what the candle looks like because i dont want to pick them up...

Hey can you post a pic? I am realy interested to see what they look like in comparison to mine...

One is starting to dimple, either its a dud or it's getting ready to touch. the one above it I know is fertile but doesn't look any different.

As much as I'm sure you hate waiting just let it go, they can start to dent weeks before they hatch, unless it completely colapses or molds let it go, at this temp it should take about 45-52 days on adverage from my experience, but they can go much much longer. When it's ready to hatch it will hatch if it's meant to, just have to be patient and play the waiting game at this point.
