Herman Eggs Near Hatching
 
It's day 52 in the incubator. I've just checked on of the eggs it looks like it's cracking from inside at the top. What do you think. Is this baby making its way[IMG]http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/...pszepsl1no.jpg[/IMG]

Normally they crack from one end, as they use the egg tooth to help break the shell. But its not impossible for it to hatch from the top:0)

Day 52 so that means anytime now - how exciting!

Good luck! I've only hatched one and that was nerve-wracking enough. She hatched through the side of the egg rather than an end and somehow got in a position so her leg was dangling out the hole. She righted herself though and it was an amazing process to watch. I bet you're glued to the incubator now, watching and waiting for developments. :-)

Very exciting, mine have all hatched from the side, but I think anything is possible, good luck.

Well this morning I found the egg in question pipped at right hand side. [IMG]http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/...psnopw6zdt.jpg[/IMG]

Brilliant nearly there now.

Very very exciting, more pics please, of the little fella when it's out :D

Great news. So excited to see this little one. Then how many more to go? :lol:
I think it's going to be a busy time for you as they all start pipping.
