I has eggs!!!

Also, is there some specific method I can use to separate the eggs without worrying about damaging one, in order to remove the dead egg?

The odd thing is that only those eggs are seeming wet but the top egg looking wet is a mystery because the top of the egg box has stayed almost completely dry.

It looks like condensation dripping on that top egg.

You may not be able to remove the egg. Sometimes dental floss will work, but if it's not budging, don't try to pry it apart. You could rupture a healthy egg.

The "red" egg is going to STINK like you don't want to smell.

So I found a digital thermo/hygrometer and after letting it sit for About 45 minutes to correctly read the conditions inside the egg box, here is where I'm sitting now.

Just an inexperienced question here, but seeing how you have your eggs arranged I have to ask. Why do you have an egg on top of the other eggs? Why not evenly distribute them on their own instead of having one piled on top of the others?

I took the eggs and put them in the egg box in the exact same position as the mama laid them. By the time I saw that she had laid, they were already quite adhered to one another and I did not want to risk puncturing any of them. :)

Oh wow, so they sort of stick together after being laid?

The eggs are usually pretty soft so it's easier on mom to pass them when she lays. Then they dry and stick to one another. Usually if you catch her pretty soon after laying, you can gently pull them apart. Sometimes, if it's been a few hours, they are already stuck together and it's best to not move them at all.

Well it's 30 days in now and I am almost positive there is only one viable egg left.

However I fear I may have ruined everything. Removing the two eggs that were certainly dead, I accidentally rolled the one viable egg upside down for a brief moment but carefully rolled it back trying not to basically cause a scramble in the egg. I'm terrified that I just may have killed the one good egg!

Secondly there is still one other perfectly white egg that looks beautiful however it candles white/yellow and has no veins whatsoever.

Should I get rid of that one, and what do I do to make sure the one that rolled isn't ruined?

Worst first clutch experience ever!
