    Egg question....

    So i had a picture up of my eggs .. everyone said they're fine. Which they were. The boob is starting to look like its rotting.. All the eggs are stuck together. Is it safe to pull the rotting egg away from the others? If I do is it wise to keep it in the incubator for a chance of it hatching and being okay? Let me know!!

    I have seen eggs with mold hatching just fine.

    I have known of people leaving moldy eggs alone when attached to other eggs and have no other issue.

    Personally if the egg is moldy and there is no longer any veins I would remove it, that being said you need to proceed VERY carefully if you chose to do so as you could tear the other eggs.

    Generally the best time to separate eggs is soon as they a laid or a few days before they are due to hatch, they will usually separate very easily, at any other time it maybe very difficult.

    Like Deborah said, if you can remove the egg easily then it would be fine... but many people have left moldy eggs in with the rest and everyone hatched out just fine.

    Personally, I would just leave it alone. Messing with the eggs could cause more harm than good.
