Egg Discoloration

It looks as though the egg in the first pic is getting to much moisture. Try using the light diffuser from a hardware store to elevate the eggs off the vermiculite. Then you will not have to worry about the eggs getting too wet.Second if you are getting condensation on the tub it means the air temp in the tub is different then the air temp in the incubator. You need to add more holes to the egg box, or increase your fan speed if you have a fan. If you do not have a fan it is really recommended. The egg with the dark window, I have seen this develope in eggs after about two weeks of incubation. It was not noticed when i put the eggs in at first, but i believe it is there and just gets darker as the eggs develope. It is not a problem as long as you have good veins, and the eggs are not rotting or collapsing alot then keep on incubating them they look fine to me. Just fix your water situation and the eggs will do fine.

Thanks everybody! I'm going to the store today to try the light diffuser. Do I need to keep the mixture the same if the eggs are elevated? Or do I still need to add some dry verm? Also, I'm a girl...lol

If you set them on top of the light diffuser I would add more water to your mixture. Even pure water and no substrate is fine if you are using the diffuser. All the mix is doing with the light diffuser method is to keep the water from sloshing around when you are moving the egg box. Good luck. Your eggs look pretty good to me. I would not worry too much about them.
