I have an egg in the incubator that has collapsed. It's still pink. It's been in the bator since Oct. 4th. What should I do? First time this has hapened to me. It's been colapsed for about 2 days now and thought it would hatch soon, but gues not. The clutchmate egg is stil fine.

Hey bud I would just watch it for a few days not much you can do may be hatching real soon or may be bad, but its all just watching it I've had eggs dent a week before they have hatched sometimes I think they move and the empty space in the egg collapses, so I'd just wait and see what happens

ok, it's prety much flat now. The top is still curved a bit, but the bottom is indented in. I candled it once more. Still pink inside. What does that mean? Is it still good since it's pink?

Well I would ask if your moisture level is at its proper level? But I guess if the other egg is not deflated it probably is.

We're on day 44. Temps are staying around 83-84. I guess I'll wait for the other egg to hatch and if the problem egg doesn't hatch within a day or two after that I'll pip it.

 

[runko]

when the other egg hatches pip it.....

 

[jaredm3624]

what is the best way to pip an egg? Never had to do it before.
