Egg experience here.

Just a question, when eggs get close to hatch; per say 5 or 6 of my eggs have started to dent now. Day 80.. I'm just wondering what causes the eggs to dent? Is it the babies making it dent? Or is because the eggs are softening and aren't as firm and can't hold the weight of baby moving inside it? I have notta clue..

Normally if they are denting, that is from drying out. The eggs i loosing water and therefore, volume. If I see dents, I add a bit of water to the incubation medium.

Okay I've added water they're not soaking it up like they were. I add water to the substrate around the eggs. I have 80% humidity in there as well. So denting always means humidity ? Hmmm..
