I've seen the threads with those eggs that were moldy and the clutchmates did fine but I never noticed the visible rotting of the egg. maybe i should have shown pics ekk the baby inside was crushed in a crease by mamas weight just before i put them in the incubator. the youlk inside started to go from being hard to almost fermenting and changing back to goo when i decided to remove it.....p.s. the smell was icky living in az with swamp coolers and monsoon not a good mix better safe than sorry in my eyes
