We have a clutch of 10 eggs that are approximately 50 days out. They seem to be smaller than our clutch of 4 and are crinkling. Is there any advice on how we should proceed with these eggs? Picture of the eggs has been attached.

From my experience that’s pretty normal as they get close to hatching. The eggs begin to shrivel up and look like that. What temp are you incubating at? You’ll likely have babies in the next 10-15 days

We try to keep the temp between 88 and 90 degrees. Should that be adjusted at all?

So Nathan, is the shriveling of the eggs due to the yolks being absorbed by the babies? Probably a dumb obvious question but I will ask anyway……

I prefer to incubate at a lower temp, but that’s fine. Just don’t let it get over 90. Basically I was asking because my eggs take closer to 70-75 to hatch, as I incubate at 84-86.
Not dumb or obvious, because I truly don’t know. My best guess would be what you are suggesting though, as it makes sense to me
