For those that cut when they notice the first egg has pipped
What is the longest you have left before cutting?
A friend of mine had 3 fertile eggs and noticed the first one had pipped 2 nights ago, the other 2 eggs had the start of scratch marks on the eggs so it looked like the other 2 hatchies where on there way out.
The next morning the first to pip was happily out of its egg and roaming the tub
The other 2 had still not poked there heads out.
My friend went to work and came back last night, she decided to cut the 2 eggs as the hatchies still hadn't made any more efforts and unfortunately both had died....
This seems like a very short period (approx 24 hrs) between them attempting to pip and dying. Has anyone else had anything similar happen after leaving eggs for that sort of period after the first pips?
