    I have heard about others cutting it away from good eggs. I have one that is starting to mold, but I'm just keeping an eye on it and applying anti fungal powder to the mold. So far it is just starting to sink in. No smells.

    Thats what I was thinking about doing but I just feel that razor blades and bp eggs don't mix. If someone could tell me in detail how to do it I would, but I don't want to guess at it.

    I'd suck out the juice with a turkey baster then gently peal the egg away from the others.

    I just leave them in if they don't come apart easily. It's not that big of a deal, just looks ugly.

    Dental floss.

    or, instead of risking the other eggs with cutting, you could just cover the moldy egg with dry vermiculite. it sucks the moisture out of it and prevents the mold from spreading or smelling. altho i guess this is easier if the egg is off to the side and not ontop or something.

    hmmmm, dental floss huh?

    This sounds like it could work decently as well as the turkey baster idea. Its stuck pretty good just don't want to rip it.

    You want to use the turkey baster to get out all the liquid still. Peeling the egg doesn't always work, so using dental floss can help to ease the egg away.

    My first couple of years breeding, I had a couple of eggs go bad. It smells for a few days, but the mold doesn't hurt the other eggs at all. ;)
