I think he may have been quitting before you opened the egg. He was moving so much less from the beginning, right?

Yes.
I'm doing the dishes real quick.

I only opened the egg because I though he was already dead.

I know...I remember you thinking earlier on that he was a potential quitter. I'm just happy that he didn't die being slowly boiled to death in his shell... then eaten.

Just out of curiosity, since I haven't read back, how many days have you been incubating them at this point? Balut eggs are usually taken out of the incubator on day 17.

By the way, Metzer Farms once incubated and hatched their own balut eggs.

Ten days is today.

They were out of a bator and cold for at least two days.

Makes sense, they are doing what they would do on day 27 of incubation. The two days they were out don't count, of course.
