    I can't help thinking that eggs in a mildy damp area in 90 degree heat with low air flow would produce a lot of mold. Someone, calm my fears or tell me how to prevent it if this is common.

    open the tubs once a week for an air exchange. You need something to calm your nerves? Breeders have been doing it this way for years with no problems

    They have a natural anti-mold/fungus ability (for lack of a better word). Also, you need to open the boxes weekly which allows for air exchange.

    Healthy eggs actively fight infection from mold and bacteria thoughout the incubation period. The eggs recieve antibodies from the mother in order to do this. When eggs that are set-up correctly start to go bad, the embryo has died or is struggling, and it can no longer fight the infection. Hope that helps calm your nerves :)
