Hey guys, ran into a little issue with a 9 egg clutch that came out on 4/14 and would like to get some opinions... I candled my eggs last night and there is one egg without veins showing. Normally I would toss it. However, in this case all 9 eggs were very well stuck when I got to them, the top egg I removed from the pile since it was sticking out of the incubation box as they were.

The one bad egg is directly in the center/under the remaining 7 surrounding eggs, and just started to grow some mold. A few of the surrounding eggs are fixed into a semi-vertical position, so after detatching them from the slug what should I do? Try and rest them on each other again to remain in that position? Or should I just leave the one bad one even with the little bit of mold and keep my eye on them daily (which I already do lol)

Ive had bad eggs before, just this situation seems very unique/difficult to get around.

Here is the way the eggs sit almost upright... i feel very uncomfortable letting them roll down to a position they will sit at if detatched, but could they roll down that little bit?


The black triangle points to the egg I need to remove. I think I counted 5 eggs directly attached to it. The egg on the very top (very lightly marked with a 1) has already been removed.


Thanks in advance!
