    two eggs dying

    I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the "advanced husbandry" forum, but here goes.

    My kingpin laid eight good eggs last Friday, and unfortunately it looks like two of them did not prove viable after all. These two have started to die and decay, mold has started to form on them, and the smell of rot is faintly discernible upon opening the egg box. This is my first clutch, so I am really at a loss as to what I should do, especially since they won't even pip until late June/early July. I have gathered that keeping all the eggs intact is the best course of action, and that leaving any dying/dead eggs attached is preferable to separating the clutch if they're stuck together (which they are). However, given then fact that this is my first clutch, I don't have any experience to draw on, and I would really appreciate any input that could help allay my concerns of losing the whole damn lot.

    Thanks in advance.
