When my girl laid, there was one egg that looked like a boob egg, only the top was the good part and the bottom was not. The egg never had any veins when it was candled (candled before it went into the incubator and then two weeks later). We're coming up on week three, and a quick peek shows the little egg getting increasingly moldy. I think it's safe to say this egg is a dud, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. It's attached to the two eggs next to it, and I'm worried I may hurt those if I try to pry the bad egg loose. Will it be fine to leave a moldy egg in there with the good ones, or should I risk it and try to pull it away and toss it?
All other eggs are looking good at this point and had strong veins last I checked (a week ago).
Picture from before the eggs went into the incubator. There are 8 eggs in total, but my incubator is pretty small so I had to divide the clutch into two tubs. Bad egg is the one on bottom right. No more recent pictures, don't want to remove the tub from the incubator if I don't have to.
