Egg Going Bad

that brownish one is for sure bad. the others look to be going south as well. you mix doesn't look to wet but keep an eye on it. i would leave the two white ones in a little longer but that brown one could be ditched.

good luck!!!

Add some dry vermic around the eggs...looks really wet on one side to me, which is the same side with the bad egg. Wouldn't hurt to leave the top off the egg box in the incubator for a day or two also.

Also, if you notice condensation on the lid and dripping onto the eggs, place a paper towel over the eggs to catch any drips. I had the same problem my first time around and that worked well.

sure looks bad to me! How far along are they? Looks like a couple of the other ones are caveing in also. If they are a few weeks from hatching the sides will form condensation..

While I saw a vein in the one egg that went bad, I candled it with a stronger flashlight and it is definitely not fertile. The inside is a pinkish orange and I saw no veins. I'm tempted to cut it open though and see what the inside is like. The entire egg is green now and definitely going bad.

One egg is developing green on its side but I think that is due to too much moisture in the egg tub. I removed the lid and will put it back on tonight.

I candled the remaining five eggs and each and every one definitely has veins! So that's five fertile eggs out of 6. Not bad. The three in the clump are doing really well. No green spots, no moisture. Nice plump eggs.

So, should I cut the green one open just to see what's inside? I'm one of those uber curious people.
