We're on day 76 with our eggs and still nothing. I candled the eggs tonight and saw no movement at all, but lots of big red veins, and half the egg looking full. A few of the eggs started to collapse 3 days ago and I hoped this was a good sign, but nothing yet.
Should I just keep waiting or is it time to slit one of them. We have 16 good looking eggs.
 
I'd leave them alone for a while longer yet, there have been quite a few threads recently about how long clutches are taking to hatch, some have been over 80+ days :eek:

When you say they started to collapse 3 days ago, do you mean dimple? I've had eggs dimple up to a couple of weeks before hatching, so I don't use that as a guide as to when they will hatch.

If you meant collapse, as in completely sinking, are they looking or feeling sweaty? If so there may some losses in this clutch.

As long as your temperature has been stable and you haven't had heat spikes, and the eggs still look healthy, then I'm sure they will hatch in their own sweet time :)

Best wishes,
 
Yeah, definitely wait... all of our clutches have been hatching at around day 85/86 with only one or two hatching out around 82.

For the most part, all of our babies are healthy when they exit too, only one deformed snow, but that might have been due to other problems rather than the extra time on incubation. (Like our 24 hour power outage during one of the hotter days this summer.)
