74 days and really worried

OK ...I posted on 5-16 because our eggs weren't hatching.We incubated at 80-82* in a Hovabator.At 63 days and nothing I was concerned. At 67 days one began to sweat...a good sign...at 71 days it began to dent in. Today is 74 days and on a check tonight it seems to have some fuzz on it and nothing in the way of a break out! It still glows pink when candled but I have passed worried and well onto to panick! How long after caving in does it hatch. I am probably worried over nothing. All five of my kids were really late so I should be used to this but I can't help but worry.Should I put anything on it for the fuzz or leave it alone. I tried to take a photo but it didnt turn out to well...it is deflated on the side and top. The egg next to it is the clutch mate. It started to sweat today!Any ideas...I dont plan to get rid of it till I am positive but...I hate to tell the kids the first ever fertile egg died this close to hatch day!

It looks like the egg has gone bad. I usually give them a sniff test. Take a good whiff of the egg, if you notice an odor, it's rotting. It may have a fairly large embryo in it, so it will still glow pink. Usually they should hatch within a day or two of starting to sweat and dent.

yeah, sucks but I had the same thing happen, started to sweat then caved in but never hatched when it turned brown and smelled I finally cut it open and the baby was fully formed but alas dead

I hope your others hatch better for you!

Sorry, but I agree with Chris. If there is a baby in that egg it will be stillborn

Sorry for your loss
